ok.

so, is there some other, clever way to use instances AND reference an
instance-specific ExecStartPre=... ?

i'm thinking maybe passing an instance expansion variable to a
statically-named script? something like

ExecStartPre=/etc/openvpn/up.general.script %I

?  Is *THAT* allowed (I'm looking in docs for the details of these
prohibitions ...)

A newer version is, unfortunately, not available from my distro atm.  We
just recently made the 'leap' from v44 -> v195 ...
