Looks fine.

Looks fine, assuming of course that the DEVICE and HWADDR are different. :)

Are you bonding for performance or reliability?

Bridge config looks fine, too.

Are you using KVM? I assume so. Regardless, the 'vnetX' interface is the
link between the VM and the bridge. Think of it as your virtual network
cable. As such, it exists when the VM exists, and is deleted when the VM
migrates or is shut down.

What does 'cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0' show on either node?
