[KLUG Members] OpenVPN & DHCP

I'm getting very close to testing an OpenVPN setup, but have become
stumped at the server config.

1. How can I limit the OpenVPN server to a DHCP range subset when
another DHCP server exists on the LAN?

Current DHCP server serves range x.x.x.100 to x.x.x.175

I want the OpenVPN server to use x.x.x.76 to x.x.x.200

The only related config parameter in server.conf is
 
server x.x.x.0 255.255.255.0

2. The above config line also sets the OpenVPN server at x.x.x.1

But the current DHCP server is at that address.  The OpenVPN server
already has it's own address on the LAN, will it assume another one as
the VPN server?  If so, how do I set it so it won't conflict?

kind regards,

bill
