Is there any way I can cause these numbers to remain static or work around
this issue some other way? (i.e. Bind a number with an interface or somehow
cause them to be assigned to each other?)

I am asking this because I disable/enable some network connections on this
computer periodically and this disrupts the numbering scheme, causing Snort
to be looking at the wrong NIC. Thanks!
