Couldn't you reset the rand every now and again, without too much of an effect. Such as every 10 seconds? For every machine.

Resetting rand sequence would not correct the introduced error. The only way to correct such error would be to change model to sync the actual state among machines. But that means completely different code. All in all, I remember we added the multiplayer code at the very end. If we decided to sync state rather than exchange keyboard+mouse, we would not finish on time.
