Gordan, I did not ask for bonding. This should work. I asked for multiple independent links - different networking interfaces configured for different IP subnets mapping to different VLANS.

STP is, these days, run on a per VLAN basis. Having multiple links in different VLANs protects against important classes of network failures. Bonded interface does not do it. This must be integrated in the clustering software.
I don't quite see the point you're making. If your goal is redundant networking, then you can achieve that by having bonded interfaces in each node, and each of the components of the bonded interface should go to a different switch. That will give you both extra bandwidth and a redundant path between all the nodes, which will ensure you don't end up with a partitioned cluster.
