could somebody who uses bonding share their interfaces file?

Hi all,

I am trying to make nic bonding work correctly on my server.  I followed
this howto http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10
to get it working but I am having trouble.

The bond comes up, but only after the individual interfaces have come up and
and one of them has become a dhcp client and overwritten the
/etc/resolv.conf file and added
incorrect routes into the routing table. I have been trying to figure
out how to tell these interfaces
not to grab info via dhcp.

So far I've added a line in /etc/network/interfaces that reads

"iface eth4 static" and  "iface eth5 static" that didn't work. Then I
tried  "iface eth5 manual" and "iface eth5 manual" that didn't have
the desired effect either.

I hope someone can share a copy of a working interfaces file with me
so I can get this figured out.

Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
	address 10.110.0.105
	netmask 255.255.0.0
	network 10.110.0.0
	broadcast 10.110.255.255
	gateway 10.110.0.1

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
   address 192.168.0.254
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   broadcast 192.168.0.255
   post-up ifenslave bond0 eth4 eth5
