Basically do what you'd do under normal Linux and it should work OK.

If you set up bonding in dom0 and arrange to attach bond0 to the bridge then
it should Just Work (likewise for routed setups). You may need to edit a few
of the networking scripts / configuration files under /etc/xen to make it all
work.

Not that I know of - you get to be our pioneer :-) (feel free to post a HOWTO
to the Wiki)

No config examples at hand. But I've been building similar setups and
they do work like a sharm ;)
