man hostid:
NAME
hostid - set or print system's host id.
SYNTAX
hostid [-v] [decimal-id]
DESCRIPTION
The hostid command prints the current host id number in
hexadecimal and both decimal and hexadecimal in paren‐
thesis if the -v option is given. This numeric value is expected
to be unique across all hosts and is nor‐
mally set to resemble the host's Internet address.
...
You can apparently set the id to whatever you want by calling hostid at
startup, but you must ensure that each host has a unique ID.
