It's not us who uses it, but Apache, so it's not under our control.

I believe you can compile APR to use urandom instead of random, which
should cause Apache to use it as well (unless Apache is accessing
/dev/random on it's own, which I doubt). See the --with-devrandom flag
for APRs configure.
Right, this is documented here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup
and it also says: however, that is not secure for certain needs.
