[Dnsmasq-discuss] Different IP Address range for OpenVPN clients?

First off I'm pretty sure I don't understand the syntax of 
/etc/dnsmasq.conf...

I've been using dnsmasq in a small office lan for almost two years now. 
We recently added OpenVPN for our few road warrirors.  I wanted to keep 
the OpenVPN IP address range separate from the local folks.  However that 
doesn't seem to be working, OpenVPN clients are assigned an address from 
the first defined range.  Additionally the lease time is incorrect on 
OpenVPN clients ("Lease Obtained" and "Lease Expires" are the same).

Here's my dnsmasq.conf file.

no-poll                                  # do not poll resolv-file
except-interface=eth0                    # do not answer on external i/f
listen-address=10.169.1.1                # listen on local address only
listen-address=127.0.0.1                 #
domain-needed                            # don't forward plain names
