Hi,
I would suggest to use http://www.cacert.at/random/ to test the
randomness of the DNS source ports. Due to the large variety of
random-number sources that have been tested there already, it's useful
as a classification service of unknown randomly looking numbers.
You just have to collect 12 MB of numbers from a DNS server and upload
it there. (If you get 2 Bytes per request, that's 6 million requests you
have to do)
I don't see the point of evaluating the quality of a random number
generator by statistical tests.
We successfully used statistical tests to detect broken random number
generators, we informed the vendors and they fixed them.

Are you seriously saying that the entropy of FreeBSD /dev/random is 0?
