Once again, what you're answering sounds unrelated to what I'm asking...
:) If you're creating two NICs at the same time (from the new VM
dialog), and oVirt uses the first free MAC address whenever it needs to
allocate one... Then it allocates MAC addresses according to the order
of the NICs, so nic0 would still always get a MAC address lower than
that of nic1.
