You could just hard code your mac addresses in the config file.
/etc/network/interfaces
#man interfaces defines how
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
hwaddr 00:20:18:10:72:76
address 199.105.37.102
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 199.105.37.255
gateway 199.105.37.1
iface eth1 inet static
hwaddr 00:20:18:10:72:75
address 199.105.37.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 199.105.37.255
gateway 199.105.37.1
