I use bonding extensively, but I always edit cluster.conf directly. If
conga doesn't support "bond*" device names, please file a bug in red
hat's bugzilla.
Once the bondX device is up, it will have the IP and the "ethX" devices
can be totally ignored from the cluster's perspective. Use the bondX
device just as you would have used simple ethX devices.
In case it helps, here is how I setup bonded interfaces on red hat
clusters for complete HA;
