	If you're running a relatively recent bonding driver (version
3.0.0 or later), the arp_ip_targets can be changed on the fly via sysfs,
e.g.,

echo +10.0.0.1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
echo -20.0.0.1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target

	You can check out Documentation/networking/bonding.txt (in the
kernel source code) for more details.
