Add the bonding module to /etc/modules, so that bond0 exists when the
network interfaces are brought up. Then you can do something like:
iface bond0 inet static
address 0.0.0.0
netmask 0.0.0.0
slaves eth0 eth1
iface xenbr0 inet static
address 10.0.0.123
gateway 10.0.0.1
bridge_ports bond0
That should do virtually all that you want. Look into the README.Debians
of the bridge-utils and ifenslave packages for more details.
