[Security Firewall] trying to understand bonding

So I'm trying to get an understanding of how Bonding ethernet  
interfaces works.

What I'm trying to do is use two separate sdsl links to provide a  
faster connection.

I have two SDSL 1.5 links on two separate subnets.

WAN Link One 69.25.220.192/30 on ethernet3 local ip 69.25.220.194

WAN link two 69.25.220.196/30 on ethernet2 local ip 69.25.220.198

I'd like to loadshare across these two circuits.  This is at a  
clients site and I'm the ISP so I could possibly juggle things around  
but this is the config I'd like to use.

Is this possible? Am I completely missing the point?

When I look at setting up a bond0 interface it wants me to choose the  
slave interfaces and then provide an IP for the bond0 interface.  I  
cant figure out where that IP would come from.  The LAN subnet?? a  
WAN subnet that is routed thru both of the SDSL links??  Just  
confused about this.
