No - the phone allows you to register with multiple servers, and I would
like to reach each server over its own tunnel.  It won't do that today.
I've had good luck requesting features from Yealink and having them show
up in new firmware releases, though, and I think this will probably go
that way too.  OpenVPN supports multiple tunnels, and I am not sure how
they managed to break it in such a way that it won't on their platform.
To make it work you have to name the tunnel conf file "vpn.conf", and I
am sure their openvpn startup routines are just hardcoded for that one
conf file.  I don't expect it would be a major mod to look for
additional conf files at startup, like the stock init.d scripts do...
