generateUUID()

Hi,

We need to generate a global unique identificator for different machines, to identify them in a server. In order to achieve that, we were thinking about using the generateUUID() function on each computer, to self-generate the identificator. Is this a good approach? What are the chances that two different machines get same number? Which algorithm is using this function?

Thank you in advance
