Thanks. This is a good start but I think we can improve this to give a 
bit more context:

+--preresolve
+  Resolve configured ``--remote``, ``--local``, ``--http-proxy``, and
+  ``--socks-proxy`` hostnames at startup before opening the connection.
+


I think we should mention that this also causes OpenVPN to never 
reresolve the hostnames on reconnect. Which is a good thing if you use 
something like persist-tun and DNS will not work while the VPN is down 
but maybe is counter-productive if you have a dyndns name for your VPN 
server or roaming to/from DNS64/NAT64 network where the IP address might 
change.
