[Openvpn-users] misunderstanding with respect to openvpn server ip address assignment

[Jason Keltz <jas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wish to assign a specific IP to an OpenVPN server.  The clients 
receive their addresses manually through the ccd mechanism and not 
through the address pool.  Instead of using:

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

I want to use:

mode server
tls-server
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

This works.  One client happens to be 10.8.0.10.

What is not clear to me is why I require the 10.8.0.2?  Isn't the VPN 
endpoint different for each host in "server" mode?  I'm sure I'm 
misunderstanding the concept, and I'm sure that someone can clear up the 
misundestanding quickly.

thanks

Jason.
