Add the bonding module to /etc/modules, so that bond0 exists when the network interfaces are brought up. Then you can do something like: iface bond0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 slaves eth0 eth1 iface xenbr0 inet static address 10.0.0.123 gateway 10.0.0.1 bridge_ports bond0 That should do virtually all that you want. Look into the README.Debians of the bridge-utils and ifenslave packages for more details. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
