Sorry about the verbose flag issue... been driving me nuts that one. As for seed & loop, basically you'll end up with the same IP addresses 3 times. Basically randomization is done by combining the seed + original IP to generate the new IP. In order for sessions not to break, the code makes sure that a given seed + IP always results in the same "randomized IP".
