whoop! apologies.

" primary=<interface_name>
    Specifies the interface name, such as eth0, of the primary device. 
The primary device is the first of the bonding interfaces to be used and 
is not abandoned unless it fails. This setting is particularly useful 
when one NIC in the bonding interface is faster and, therefore, able to 
handle a bigger load.
    This setting is only valid when the bonding interface is in 
active-backup mode. See the bonding.txt file in the kernel-doc package 
(see Section 29.9, “Additional Resources”). "

this can be specified, per the previous link i sent, in the ifcfg-bondN 
file under the parameter "BONDING_OPTS=". hope this helped! (check out 
the other options on that page as well!)
