Give a NetworkView a predetermined ID

Hello! I am working on a multiplayer game...

Due to the situation I am in (which is very hard to explain) I am forced to implement my networking in a strange way. My goal is to do this:

Create a simple C# script which, in its Start() function adds a NetworkView component and then sets the ID of that NetworkView to a predetermined number.

The problem is... I have no idea how to do this! I know how to use AllocateViewID() but there is no way for me to guarantee that it generates the same number for each script that uses it every time. Is there a way to allocate a view ID by a number? And is there a way to check if a view ID already exists?

Thanks in advance!
