and with ekeyd-egd-linux you can distribute the entropy from an entropykey over the net - great for giving vm some randomness.
You would then be interested in http://hundun.ae7.st. Server I setup just a week or so ago doing this very thing.

After all, how can you trust the admin, that he's not keeping track of which client is receiving which data? -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
