Hmmm. Are you using a route statement in the <tunnel>.conf files or are
you using a <tunnel>.up script?
I use the .up scripts on linux (FC1 and WBEL 3.0) and my routes come
down when my tunnels come down.
The route statement is valid, but I use it only on my windows clients.
AFAIK, openvpn uses ifconfig to establish routes when you include a
route statement in the .conf on a linux box. That may have an adverse
effect that creates persistent routes.
