No. Not using the random seed files means just, not using that file. It
isn't used for synchronization.
Although, you could face the same issue when they try to lock other
files. How are you handling the changes to that keystore? Are those 100
servers only reading the keys, or are they also *modifying* it (e.g.
importing new keys) ?
