Feature request

Headscale assigns IP addresses from the configured range in a sequential order. Requesting an option to assign IPs randomly from the range.

Rationale: From a security perspective, random IP assignment typically makes it harder for a potentially compromised device to sequentially scan the network range or guess the other machines' IP addresses. For example, an IPv6 /48 subnet makes it nearly impossible to conduct a network scan. Several DHCP servers also assign IP addresses randomly for various reasons as well.

This would have been a great addition to headscale. Is there a way to keep this issue open until actually resolved?
