Long (private) short urls #3

I think 5 or 6 character UID is good for url shortener. But actually there is always brute-force possibility. And something like checkbook for 15 symbols UID will be great. This will be still shorter then some really long urls, but should give brute-force protection from future attacks.
Urls will be short by default, but if user want more strong urls, this option should safe the day.
Any comments?
