RES: Secure connections

[phil@Stimpy.netroedge.com]

Almost related: For machines which do a lot of encrypting based on
random numbers (VPN routers, SSL web servers, etc.), are there
hardware products which can produce lots of high-quality random
numbers?  The kernel /dev/random works well, but sometimes it can run
out of data, and the server will lag. 

I'm interested in what you people think.
