  # define clients
  openvpn::client { 'client1':
    server => 'winterthur',
  }
  openvpn::client { 'client2':
    server   => 'winterthur',
  }

  openvpn::client_specific_config { 'client1':
    server => 'winterthur',
    ifconfig => '10.200.200.50 10.200.200.51',
  }

  # a revoked client
  openvpn::client { 'client3':
    server => 'winterthur',
  }
  openvpn::revoke { 'client3':
    server => 'winterthur',
  }

  # a server in client mode
  file {
    '/etc/openvpn/zurich/keys/ca.crt':
      source => 'puppet:///path/to/ca.crt';
    '/etc/openvpn/zurich/keys/zurich.crt':
      source => 'puppet:///path/to/zurich.crt';
    '/etc/openvpn/zurich/keys/zurich.key':
      source => 'puppet:///path/to/zurich.key';
  }
  openvpn::server { 'zurich':
    remote  => [ 'mgmtnet3.nine.ch 1197', 'mgmtnet2.nine.ch 1197' ],
    require => [ File['/etc/openvpn/zurich/keys/ca.crt'],
                 File['/etc/openvpn/zurich/keys/zurich.crt'],

openvpn::clients:
  'client1': {}
  'client2': {}
  'client3': {}

openvpn::client_specific_configs:
  'client1':
    server: 'winterthur'
    ifconfig: '10.200.200.50 10.200.200.51'
