This is due to the server by default uses the certificate's common name (CN) field as the identifier for the IP address assignment. You will also notice that each of these connections will start to re-connect on various intervals, most likely alternating.
Try adding --duplicate-cn to your server configuration. This allows more clients with the same certificate CN field to connect simultaneously. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
