When I setup my OpenVPN server, I noticed that there was an awful lot of traffic being used, more traffic that I thought I was using, at least. Upon exploring and logging bandwidth usage, I realized that most of the bandwidth being using by the VPN server was going to VPN server itself.

129.49.231.0 63.83 kBps
...
66.228.47.0 119.68 kBps
...
So what I want to ask, is this normal operation, and if not, what would be the root of this problem? This bandwidth is only used when I have an active connection, and does appear to scale with the bandwidth that I'm using.
(I'm trying to minimize overhead on my server, since the bandwidth being used by the server is rapidly using up my bandwidth quota.)
