Yes, I do mean use both, so at the firewall end you could have multiple bonds
(which requires N interfaces, where N=x*y, x being number of interfaces per
bond, and y being number of bonds), so to do another piece of ASCII art, you
can have this:

     BOND0
     /eth0\____ISP1
    / eth1/
FW 
    \ eth2\____ISP2
     \eth3/
     BOND1

Thus making use of both features, allowing for high throughput and failover.

Hope that makes sense
