OpenVPN does this by default. It always assigns the same IP based on the client certificate. That mapping is stored in /etc/openvpn/ipp.txt
Here is some documentation I have been working on. I see I didn't explain that part very well. http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/wapr/tcpip/openvpn.html

I was wondering if it were possible for a VPN server package to consistently assign a specific, reserved IP address to a VPN client based on the authenticating certificate.
The scope of the VPN server would be subject to the region/subnet coordinating contact, such as a portion of: Gateway area: 44.80.32/24 Central Pennsylvania
Thanks for your consideration.
