You have a good plan here, Fabrice.  Although I don't have bonding configured in my own production environment, I'm doing much the same as you are with individual network interfaces.

You *could* use the host management network as your floating IP pool network, but you'd need to create a flat network in OpenStack for that (unless your host management network is tagged).  I prefer to use a specific VLAN for those public-facing, floating IP addresses.  You'll need routers between your internal networks and that floating IP VLAN to make the floating IP addresses work (if I remember correctly).

That makes sense.  Would you be able to open a bug for us?  I'll be glad to help you write some documentation if you're interested in learning that process.
