I hadn't thought about that... it doesn't look like the switch I have
at the moment supports bonding.  Since throughput isn't an issue, I
think I'd rather eliminate the complexity of the second/third/etc. NIC
card(s) in the host.  In the past I had run into problems where an OS
upgrade would cause the interface names to swap on some (but not all)
machines. With just a single interface, and udev-name-randomization
disabled, that problem goes away. :)
