Hi,
  I'm writing an apache module and need to generate a random number to handle a 
request. The random numbers must be unique across requests and thus across 
forks. My problem is coming up with a way to seed the random numbers in an 
efficient way. I imagine I'll need to use some combination of a timestamp and 
process/thread id. Perhaps this is already handled by apache or another module? 
What have other people done? That's it. Thanks in advance.
