VPN connection using openvpn and openssl certs

[linuksos <linuksos@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys,

I have just simple question in regards to the OpenVPN connections.
When using a Certificates and "server" directive in openvpn
configuration file :
server 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 the vpn tunnel is created is follows:
SERVER:
inet addr:192.168.0.1  P-t-P:192.168.0.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
CLIENT:
inet addr:192.168.0.6  P-t-P:192.168.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.255

What is a logic behind a IP address given to the client from the
server. Why first client connected to SERVER does not get 192.168.0.2
IP address but it gets 192.168.0.6 instead? I'm sure that there is a
good explanation for that and I'm just missing something.

thank you
