You can try and put that command in a script 
in /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/. Any and all scripts here will be invoked 
after each interface is setup. They are passed parameters, if I remember 
correctly $2 is the interface name, so you can check that you only do your 
ifconfig hack on eth0. Kludgy, but it should work.
