It's probably the Network-Manager doing that, and this is why I remove
it completely on servers and other machines that only have static IP
configurations. Some applications get ugly if they can't figure out
who they're running on.

I think if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file
and change NM_CONTROLLED to "no" that may get the Network-Manager to
leave it alone.
