Description of problem: I am trying to connect to the Red Hat VPN from a customer site using openvpn, where the http proxy is at a 10.96.0.0/16 address. Since the RH openvpn configuration routes 10.0.0.0/8 to the Red Hat internal network, at the moment the tunnel is created the machine does not find the http proxy any more, stopping the openvpn connection. On RHEL6 CSB, I can ask openvpn to set a route to the http proxy. On Fedora, the routing table is sorted strangely, and the default route sits on top instead of at the bottom. IIRC the routing table should always be sorted specific to default, not vice versa, but here it is. 

openvpn invocation: 

        ROUTER=10.97.3.254
        ROUTER=$(netstat -rn| grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{ print $2 }')
        openvpn --config $CONFIG --http-proxy www-proxy.customer.com 8080 \
                --route 10.97.0.0 255.255.0.0 $ROUTER


resulting routing table: 


0.0.0.0         10.97.3.254     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 em1
10.0.0.0        10.3.112.1      255.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 redhat0
10.3.112.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 redhat0
10.97.0.0       10.97.3.254     255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 em1
10.97.3.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 em1
172.16.0.0      10.3.112.1      255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 redhat0



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always. 

Steps to Reproduce:
