[ldns-users] Improper randomness in ldns_resolver_nameservers_randomize() function

Hi Zbynek,

I have changed (in trunk) the function
ldns_resolver_nameservers_randomize(...) to use a different random
generator. You can now initialize randomness yourself by calling
ldns_init_random(...).

Best regards,

Matthijs
