Even on the danger of a "religious" war:
That is exactly how I use openvpn, connecting a few servers only for 
their own mail exchange + depending on the location connecting the whole 
subnet of the location to the other office. By definition the setup for 
openvpn defines a server or client, but this is only a "who initiates 
the first connection" desicion, after the connect I don't see much 
difference, the config files look nearly identical. I will never use 
cipe again for any new setup.
But I agree that a good working cipe setup doesn't really need to be 
exchanged. Or some cannot be exchanged due to the age of the machine and 
OS install.
