I have not used bonding with xen, but once you have a bonded interface in the
Dom0 it should be trivial. setup your bonded interface as usual, then in
/etc/xend-config.sxp where it says (network-script network-bridge)
set it to
(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=bond0')
it should just work.

100Mbps is a whole lot of bandwidth for a webserver unless you are serving
video or large file downloads or something. 100Mbps is enough to choke a
very powerful mailserver, nevermind exchange.
I suspect that if you are using windows on Xen, disk and network I/O to and
from the windows DomU will be a bigger problem than network speeds. Are
you using the paravirtualized windows drivers? without them, network and
disk IO is going to feel pretty slow in windows, no matter how fast the
actual network or disk is.
