VPN from 2 devices with same user receives same IP

BAlfson
Working from home, I usually have a split-tunnel VPN activated from my laptop to my office.  L2TP over IPSec.  Earlier this afternoon, I also tried to access my office with my iPhone, but when I connected over 3G on my iPhone, neither my laptop nor my iPhone could see anything.

I discovered that both devices had been assigned the x.x.x.66 IP address!

I have the Astaro set to get VPN IP addresses from the DHCP on a Windows Server.

This seems to me to be a "feature" of the way the Astaro asks for IP addresses.

Is this the way it should work, an Astaro bug or an improper DHCP configuration?

Cheers - Bob

    Since no one responded, I submitted the question to Astaro support.  They believe this is a bug.

    The more I think about it, I think it's a 'feature' of the Windows DHCP server.  It sees a login from the Astaro with my credentials and it assumes I would appreciate having the same IP I was assigned the last time I showed up.

    But, if I'm already connected, why would it assign an IP that's currently active?
