Stephen,

I believe you are misreading the Admin Guide.  It indicates that File
Servers can be multi-homed and that they self-register.  If you have DB
servers that are multi-homed you need to pick a single network interface
for them to use

If given the choice of interface bonding and multi-homed, choose bonding.
