Ok, I read the bonding info more and understood that the alb method is
on a host basis,
this means that comunication between 2 hosts is done only through 1
interface.

Having right now only 2 hosts it's normal to use only 1 interface. (I'll
be adding more in a few days)

I'll probably switch to using LACP (or balance-rr), need to decide
wether use vrrp for failover or use balance-rr with a multi-switch
configuration (will configure multiple VLANs one for each ethernet, this
should isolate the networks).

If anybody has any experience with this and gluster is welcome on
commenting.

Would be cool to use a bond of 2 bonds but don't think linux supports it.
