One of collegues said that configuring bonding on domU does not make sense because
the virtual nic on domU and virtual bridge on dom0 may not detect netowrk failure.
 
I think that bonding on domU should work with arp such as below:
"options bond0 arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=10.25.81.1,10.24.22.70 mode=1 primary=eth1"
 
I tried bonding on domU but it did not work. (domU detected network failure but backup interface did not work properly)
 
Anyone who tried to confiure bonding on bomU? If it worked, would you share bonding configuration files (/etc/modprobe.conf, and ifcfg-*)
 
Thank you in advnace

You are looking at this the wrong way I do believe. Bonding needs to be done on dom0 and just have a single interface on the domu. I am sure someone else can explain better than myself, but you would want the failover functionality to be present on the dom0 so all the domu's benefit, not just one. Just my $0.02.
