Another approach is to hard-code the MAC, if this is possible in that
setting.  I had the same problem when allowing Xen to randomly assign
MACs to each new instance of the same virtual machine.  So I hard-coded
a MAC into the configuration file (using one of the random ones that had
been generated), removed /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules, edited
/etc/network/interfaces back to eth0 from eth2.  Fixed.
