Thanks. I enabled a verbosity of 6 and set a specific log file using:

# Set log file verbosity.
verb 6
log-append  openvpn.log

I restarted OpenVPN, started tailing the log file and, in another 
window, started a ping to one of my servers. I got all of 143 pings in 
before the connection dropped again. On the client side, this was the 
last couple of good pings followed by the first couple of failed pings.

 From what I can gather, the client kept sending out the pings, but 
before long the server decided it was all offended and wouldn't talk to 
me any more. What I don't get is just what I said to make the server mad 
at me... :)
