New User interface question

["Mike Lieberman" <Mike () netwright net>]

I am configuring a Debian server with three NICs and have SNORT 2.3 loaded. 

        eth0 has an IP address and is not for SNORT use
        eth1 and eth2 do not have IP addresses and are to be used in
promiscuous mode.

                auto eth0
                iface eth0 inet static
                    address 10.0.0.21
                    netmask 255.255.255.0
                    network 10.0.0.0
                  broadcast 10.0.0.255
                    gateway 10.0.0.225
                auto eth1
                iface eth1 inet manual
                auto eth2
                iface eth2 inet manual

I can bring the eth1 and eth2 interfaces up manually with       
        ifconfig eth(x) up

I understand I can put a script in ifup.d to force the interfaces up. 

So that I can load snort from boot, is this the best way to set this up? If
so, does anyone have a sample script?
