Robert: I have done quite a lot of this on physical servers. There are effectively 8 different channel bond scenarios. We have done it in fail over and aggregated bandwidth scenarios. Your choice will be highly dependent on your network architecture.
I've done none on virtual servers though, as I don't see the benefit. E!
