My problem is really very simple but I am not sure what the best way to
solve it is.  I perform a query against my database, which always returns my
results in the same order, and I want to randomize the ordering.  The only
other part of this problem that makes it tricky is I am not displaying all
of the results on a single page, so how ever I decide to manage the
randomizing of the result set order, I have to keep up with it over several
pages.  Any ideas?  Has anyone done this?

Thanks - Scott Carter
