I'm assuming you mean the em1 (or whatever the second one) is not using
the fake MAC. That is likely the cause of incoming only on em2.
I've not done balance-alb since I got mode4 capable switches so I'm
pretty rusty.  I have a vague memory of a bond failing to make because
one of the nics didn't support MAC changing.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
