Ok, then lets assume that eth0 has the lowest ip. Does that mean
that
eth1 would never be used?

I always thought it dished out eth0 eth1 and so on with the PCI slot it was
plugged into. The higher up in the slots it was the lower the number. I have
to admit I've not checked too carefully before but it stuck in me nog that
that was how it worked.
