One DHCP server w/ 2 scopes

I have a DHCP server that now has 2 scopes on it. One pre existing scope is the one that the server is actively giving address out from. The new scope was created for clients to use for VPN using public IP address'. If I define an address from the new scope on the client it will attach using that IP address, if I have DHCP do it, it uses an IP address from the original scope. Problem is, these VPN clients are from another company and the users do not have privledges to assign the address and the client natively uses DHCP. I have added the client computers manually to the active leases of the new scope hoping that it would attach, but it still will get an address from the other scope

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for the information but I am not sure that it is the solution. My original scope is none routable IP addresses (172.1.x.x, subnet 255.255.255.255) for our companies everyday users. The scope that I created is routable (63.148.x.x, subnet 255.255.255.240). The reason for the new scope is so these specific machines can obtain a public IP address to connect to thier VPN server, this server I do not have control over (different company). So, even if I define the machine name and MAC number in the new scope, the machine does not find and use the specified IP address when obtaining an IP address from my LAN

Thanks,
