man page updates needed for OpenVPN 2.2

The following options below needs to be documented in the man page. It is also a good thing to double check these options against openvpn --help as well, to make sure they are also described there.

  • --remote-random-hostname
  • --redirect-private
  • --redirect gateway lacks explanation of the 'autolocal' keyword
  • --http-proxy-override
  • --http-proxy-fallback
  • --capath
  • --plugin can be as 'multiline'
  • --management-client
  • --connect-timeout
  • --dhcp-internal
  • --dhcp-pre-release
  • --errors-to-stderr
  • --gremlin (only with ENABLE_DEBUG)
  • --lport / --rport (can be more verbose)
  • --mtu-dynamic
  • --push (needs review of pushable options)
  • --push-continuation (internal option, more code comments appreciated)
  • --push-peer-info
  • --rdns-internal (internal option, more code comments appreciated)
  • --remote-random-hostname
  • --show-proxy-settings
  • --x509-username-field
  • --remote-ip-hint
  • --server a.b.c.d netmask nopool
    • What does 'nopool' do?
  • --ifconfig-push-constraint
  • --key-direction
  • --ca, --cert, --key and --dh can be used inline in config file
    • Encapsulate the files in <ca>, <cert>, <key> and <dh> tags

If you do contribute with documentation, please file a bug for the option you are documenting and update this page with a link to the new bug. File the bug against version "2.2-beta / 2.2-RC", Component "Documentation" and milestone "release 2.2". We would like to have as many of these options covered for the final OpenVPN 2.2 release.
