You would then be interested in http://hundun.ae7.st. Server I setup just a
week or so ago doing this very thing. However, if using a server's random
data, it's important you mix it into your /dev/random device, rather than
using the data directly. After all, how can you trust the admin, that he's
not keeping track of which client is receiving which data?
