Hi Simon,

Try this...this mines the entropy directly from tmm and works on VM as well. 

echo -e "\x00\x00\x00\xFF" | nc 127.1.1.2 3 -u -w 1

Not exactly automated to fallback to different methods but gives you the entropy you are looking for.

That seems to be the same as the Hardware RNG link above, have you checked the numbers on the virtual machine are properly random (spectral analysis) ? But yes this needs to run in an iRule to generate tokens.
