I've had the same sort of problem recently, but I was a little wary of
messing around with the kernel on the machine serving our content, so
I used egd, which can be found at http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/
Its a fairly simple program, in perl, which generates random data that
can be accessed through a socket. Read the README, and what not, but
this should be all you need to do...
install and start up egd.pl, and then edit openssl.cnf
then change your RANDFILE line to read something like this
RANDFILE = RAND_egd("/etc/entropy")
where "/etc/entropy" is the location of the socket you started egd.pl with.
Search the archives of this mailing list, there's more info on egd and on
the previously mentioned kernel mod.
gl to ya.
Justin
