CentOS docs - Oct 2010 - suggestion for HOWTO: bonding multiple NICs

a student in my RHEL admin class this week specifically asked how to
use multiple NICs to add fault tolerance.  a good question, i thought.
perhaps adding a short HOWTO on that wouldn't be out of line,
something like this:

http://www.how2centos.com/how-to-set-up-network-bonding-with-centos-5x/

  i could even add that as a lab for future classes, where i simply
add two USB network adapters to the student's machine and make it an
exercise to set up bonding across them.  just a thought.

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BondingInterfaces does exist, you
may want to put it in sync and check for accuracy as it seems to deal
with CentOS 4 only.
