It doesn't prevent different domains from getting the same random MACs,
only within a domain. It keeps a list of generated MACs as it processes
the vifs, and loops until one is generated that hasn't been used yet.
For some reason i'd usually get several copies of the same MAC without
this code when creating multiple vifs within one domain.
