[pfSense] OpenVPN routing?

Hello,

I have a problem to route traffic by a OpenVPN tunnel from the LAN to a
VPN endpoint. I have two different firewalls. The set up is like this:

Clients <---> Location (Host) <---> Internet <---> fw-front (pfSense)
<---> fw-back (Linux) <---> LAN

The VPN endpoint is fw-front with pfSense 2.0. Than I use a transfer
network to route traffic to the fw-back Linux firewall and to the LAN.

The host who connect to the fw-front (pfSense) has access to all pushed
networks. But a client behind the OpenVPN client at the location
couldn't access the LAN networks.

I thought I need a route to let the fw-front know where to route the
location (VPN client) network traffic.
But at the "System --> Routing --> Gateway / Routes" I couldn't select
th ovpn interface to add a gateway (ovpn1) for the network at the
location. Without a gateway I couldn't create a route.

Is it possible to add an "Advanced" route to the openvpn server on the
pfSense (fw-front) that it know how to route the traffic of the offsite
location network?

Best regards,
Dominik
