[avahi] multiple network interfaces

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Could you setup channel bonding (both eth0 and eth1 into bond0) and  
then run avahi over bond0? There would only be one IP address then,  
assigned to bond0, and the link layer switching would be handled by  
the OS below the IP address level.
