I'm fighting a problem on new releases of AIX where in some environments, /dev/random seems to run out of entropy way too quick.
I'd like a way to suppress the apr_uuid_get-> apr_generate_random_bytes() in mod_proxy_balancer used for the balancer-manager nonce in affected environments. I was thinking a global "BalancerManager off" could be used for this and would also have the upside of fixing the SetHandler htaccess problem. Alternatives would be to find a weaker source for the nonce, or allow tto opt out / use a hard-coded one. Any suggestions?
