Bridging+Bonding for Bridging+HA+Load Balancing?


Hello All,

What I want:
I am in the process of creating a transparent bridge, that can do load balancing and link failover.
i.e, if i have three interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth2 then, whatever traffice that comes into eth0(Its connected to LAN) the same should be load balanced to eth1 and eth2. Further, if eth1 goes down eth2 should be working...NOTE: I dont want routing of any sort, coz i want transparent bridging....

What I have Tried:
I created a Bonding, bond0 for load balancing using eth1 and eth2.
I created a bridging between eth0 and bond0

What I got:
What ever traffice comes from eth0 goes out thru eth1 and eth2 equally, but if either eth1 or eth2 fails, the whole traffic movement stops...!!

My Question:
Can bridging and bonding co exist?
If yes, how can i do that?

Any sort of ideas/clues is highly appreciated.....

Thanks & Regards
KartheeK
