If you have a hardware random generator on these systems (i.e. you see
/dev/hwrng there) - you should install rng-tools, not haveged.
If you lack /dev/hwrng - haveged will solve this issue indeed.

If you need to do it enterprise way, and your hosts can connect to each
other - the entropybroker is the right answer for this question.
