Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

OpenVPN UDP can work with keepalive VIP by configuring multihome, but multihome only works in UDP.

Is there a way to use OpenVPN TCP with keepalive VIP like the config option multihome in UDP ???

TCP mode does not need the multihome option, because with TCP the kernel will take care of the extra housekeeping needed.

That said, we have removed the check in 2.6.x - so using multihome on a TCP server will no longer cause an option error, but will be silently ignoried (there is nothing to do for OpenVPN in the TCP case).
