Any services that are aware of the MAC address will need to be
reconfigured to the mac address generated by the bond pair.
this may also be a part of your other problem of speed. If the network
has a lot of clients looking for that original MAC address and they can
for some reason see it but it doesn't respond (because the bond pair is
responding not the individual cards) then the retries to the original
MAC would cause the server to respond slowly to other requests.
