BGP, TCP server-client

Hi Experts

afaik to make bgp router as tcp client, we can set the router-id
higher or put update-source command. is that correct ?

but i found out if we reload each of the router,sometime the client
become the server.
how to make the assigment permanent ?

any comments ?

thx
