I'm numbering my entire workplace from one. 1500 people and 26 offices. Our v4 is a constrained /16, which is enough.

Re: best way to create entropy?
again, to add some input to my own question - i happened to be compiling openssh and found this in the install doc: NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure OpenSSL to use it. OpenSSH relies on OpenSSL's direct support of /dev/random, or failing that, either prngd or egd PRNGD: If your system lacks kernel-based random collection, the use of Lutz Jaenicke's PRNGd is recommended. http://prngd.sourceforge.net/ EGD: The Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) is supported if you have a system which lacks /dev/random and don't want to use OpenSSH's internal entropy collection. http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ hopefully i'll find the time to figure out what is different about "OpenSSH's internal entropy collection", the above systems, and haveged.
