You can run any system as a server, as long as you have port 1194 UDP
open on the server firewall(s). Change your WRT54GS to a 2.0 client,
if you can't upgrade it to 2.1rc. Then on the server end, specify
'float', because the WRT54GS might send outgoing packets on either
interface - ideally you'd fix the outgoing interface, by specifying
"local blah.blah.blah.blah"

Actually, on your server conf right now, specify, "local xx.xx.x.x"
and see if that fixes your problem. If you don't need real
multihoming, then you should be able to make do with this change.
