Then you are most likely running masqeuerading on your L2TP server, making
it masquerade the IP addresses of the users with it's own IP.

Or perhaps you are confusing what the client IP is in such configuration.
The client IP in an L2TP setup is the IP address assigned to the client
over the L2TP tunnel, not the clients actual local network IP (the local
network IP is irrelevant when using L2TP). Each client of an L2TP server
is given an unique IP for that client (or session), what is determined by
the L2TP server.
