Yes, at this time it works that way.  I only need to support about a
dozen remote desktops, so it isn't much of a problem.  the openvpn
service script stops and starts all of them automatically.  

Would be nice to have a spawn & dole out mode,  and I'd imagine one will
arrive eventually.

There is an xinetd mode so that the daemon only starts upon a connection
attempt.
