It's the domU's kernel's duty to invent names for network interfaces. By
default Linux kernel names them starting with eth0, so if you have only
one, it will not go as far as eth1.

You might want to have a look at udev, which can rename the interfaces
to suit your needs. In Debian, just edit
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:17:f2:c6:67:72", 
NAME="eth1"
