[Cialug] OpenVPN configuration

Trying to setup OpenVPN, .. so that

OVPNC1	--+
		   |
OVPNC2	--+	--> Public IP  --> Private IP [& Samba]
		   |
OVPNC3	--+

Problem is, traffic needs to route from the Public IP to the private 
IP of the server [and to Samba on the server file/print]. All of the 
HowTo's seem to be setup for routing to external hosts on that 
private subnet, *NOT* the physical machine (i.e. using the OpenVPN 
termination point as the gateway, not a server).

It seems like a private IP alias on the server should be configured 
as the VPN gateway, so it would connect to the private IP on the 
server internally for the private services exposed?

	TIA,
