Gupteshwar,

I think the even handedness of RAND() is worth the difficulty in linear
scanning.  I have been concerned that the ordering of results favoring one
service provider over another might be a point of conflict.  This avoids
that.  So I'd encourage you to go ahead and make the change.

Best regards,
