[CentOS] Nic order detection

I have a number of machines that have 4 NICs, two of which are actually 
in use, running Centos 5.  When they are rebooted, they seem to change 
the eth interface names, assigning them in different orders.  I'm a 
little fuzzy on the details because they are at a remote location and I 
can't access them easily - especially after the network breaks.  Shouldn't:
alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 bnx2
alias eth2 e1000
alias eth3 e1000
in /etc/modprobe.conf always make the intel cards eth2 and 3?
