[Openvpn-users] tun or tap

I feel like there's some etiquette or protocol to mailing lists that's
I'm unaware of. This is the first time I've tried to use one and that's
only because a M$ box will be used if I can't make this work soon. It's
for a university and I think Redmond is not the best place for them to
send their money. 

All I'm looking for are basic concepts. I have no trouble reading log
files and sorting out errors but I don't have the time or the resources
to test all possibilities. I seem to have a unique situation and have
found no references or examples in documentation.  

Thanks Rob, for your reference to earlier posts but the documentation is
very clear on how to bridge subnets and I've had no trouble setting up a
tunnel.

"It's possible to --ifconfig a private address block, but then to route
a public block over it."

..is this done with a tun to route instead of bridging?

Also..

"It is also possible to --ifconfig a public address pair
directly, but you must make sure at either end that there's no routing
conflict."

This seems like it would be more efficient is this done by routing all
traffic over the vpn or just what is going to that address range?

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. And my thanks as well to
everyone involved. This is an exceptional project.
