To use stateful rules, you must have rules for state ESTABLISHED too, otherwise it will only allow the first packet and not the all others. The first rule should always be: iptables -A ... -i bond0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT That's the point of stateful rules, you match the rules further down for new connections, but existing connections will always match the first rule. You should google for "iptables stateful" and try to get a better explanation of what it is and how it works.
