Deterministic mapping of USB to VM

I have an esxi 5 server with a USB hub attached.  A number of windows 7 guests are loaded in this.  I need to configure the system so that the USB devices will deterministically associate with the correct VM. For example, I need to ensure that VM guest 1 always grabs the USB device in the hub's slot 1, vm2 to USB2, etc.  I can map the USB devices to the VMs, but when the host is power cycled, the mapping is not predictably restored. 

How can I provision this so that the mapping remains locked?  Is this something I do in VCenter?  Somewhere else?
