I was testing it with KVM, for comparison to VMWare, and didn't get as far as that. The network configuration, multiple disk at install time, and dog-slow performance of KVM prevented further exploration. KVM was being heavily advertised by RedHat so I wanted a look, and was completely underwhelmed. The requisite "bridged" network ports have to be set manually on the server, since the built-in network configuration tools have no clue how to do it. This means network pair-bonding has to be done in the guest domain, and it turned out that PXE didn't work at all in the guests.
I haven't tried that, but wouldn't you bridge the bond device instead of bonding bridged nics?
That's what I do on our various CentOS 5 and RHEL 5 based KVM clusters (I use CentOS/RHEL Cluster Suite for the storage and KVM clustering bits).
