Slightly different but the openvpn startup script uses the filename as the
variable prefix and you start multiple copies by linking the file to a new
name. Works well.

# This script supports running multiple instances of openvpn.
# To run additional instances link this script to something like
# % ln -s openvpn openvpn_foo
# and define additional openvpn_foo_* variables in one of
# /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf.d/openvpn_foo
