Bonding -- you mean two or more veth pairs bound together?

As for vlan, right now it is a bridge again, you have to bridge
the vlan interface and veth host side.

So it looks like it is either bridge or nothing (NAT/routing).

In which case current way plus my 2 patches seems to be the best route.

Thanks!
