no - because you have to configure them anyways - multiple network 
interfaces don't know magically their roles

to be frank the attitude above of the 2000's on single NIC systems (like 
most virtual machines) leads in *everybody* has to configure something 
if it comes to virtual servers and iptables rules while having just 
"eth0" as all the years before on such setups would be safe and make it 
possible to just re-use your existing scripts
