Setting default address for box with multiple IP addresses

I have a box that I recently upgraded from RHL 7.3 to Fedora Core 1. 
This box has 3 ip addresses setup via: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
     ifcfg-eth0
     ifcfg-eth0:0
     ifcfg-eth0:1

Before the upgrade outbound connections from the box, where the program 
did not specify the source IP address, would come from the IP address in 
the first file (ifcfg-eth0).  After the upgrade they seem to come from 
the one inthe last file.  This seems counter intuitive and I am 
wondering if there is a way to specify this explicilty.
