Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Bonding don't solve what it's asking, the simple answer for this is "No, 
you can't do that".

Bonding only works if NIC's on both nodes are physically connected to 
the same switch and would be in the same network.

I suggest you get a different approach to solve your problem, you can 
use bonding but have to stick with only one network and physically 
connected to the same switch. And most probably you will only get HA not 
throughput.

Good luck.
