CentOS - Jun 2008 - Bonding question - active-backup

Hi

I have bonding working and i can failover between active (eth0) and 
backup (eth1) without issue, however is there a way to automatically 
fail back to eth0 when this link once again becomes available?

I understand this may be undesirable due to flapping etc but i just 
wonder if its possible.

thanks

I believe you can do this with the 'primary' option to the bonding 
module - in your case 'primary=eth0'
