Replica ID management

Happy Monday, group. This seems like it should be obvious. When I set up a new replication
using the console, I'm prompted to enter a unique replica ID. How can I tell if the ID
I choose is unique? Is there a best practice for replica ID management?

Thanks, Mike

[Groten, Ryan]

I used the last set of digits from each servers ip address.  That ensures uniqueness in my
environment only because all my DS's are in the same subnet.

@Ryan, thanks! That's an interesting solution. And I thought of another question. Do
the replica IDs need to be unique across all databases?

Whether or not there's a technological need, consider the advantage of having a single
replica ID associated with a single database on a single host when you're reading your
error logs.

They don't have to be unique across all databases.  The
suggestion is a 
good one though.
