You might be able to create a udev rule that keeps the eth0 device to the MAC addr of the card you want it too, and the eth1 to the other mac address, so they don't swap if the card dies etc.
Looks like centos doesn't setup this by default, but I was certain Debian did, so when I find the sample config on a machine I will send. /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules would be the file to put it in.
