Yep - each page would be different, rather than the whole set
randomised. A better bet would be to randomly sort a list of ids for
the entire table, then custom paginate that.
You could store this random array of ids in the session, or perhaps
cache the list of ids with a random string which is appended to the
url.
Otherwise, don't paginate and you'll be fine.
