If I use same MAC addresses, then it will be a problem when there is a connection between switches. (that's why linux-bonding driver does not help in this case as it forces to use same MAC addresses) Also, I did not understand "configure your switch to have a lag on those ports...." One ethernet switch connects all eth0 ports and other switch connects all eth1 ports as shown in figure in previous mail. So, could you please explain little more about how the configuration of switch to add lag should be used ?

Depends on what you are trying to do... The load sharing of what? If you need the loadsharing of routing, you need to configure each card with the same mac-address, and configure your switch to have a lag on those ports....
