As mentioned earlier, when trying to do bonding in DomU (only), there are 
chances 
(depending on the bonding mode used) that the kernel will not detect a link 
failure. The question is (among others): Will DomU be notified if the cable is 
puled out on a physical interface in Dom0? Or the other way: How would a 
failure 
of a virtual network interface look like if it's going to be detected in DomU?

I still think "bondig.txt" will supply answers for the problems.
