You’re aware that the localhost IP block is /8, right? You could do:
my $ip = int(rand(2e24)) & 0x7F000000;
to reduce the chance of collision to roughly 1 in 8 million, if I’m doing my probabilities correct. (2e24 / 2 for a 50/50 hit chance?)
True enough. At least this way it's repeatable though, unlike if it's random. I think it should be sufficient.
