Does not a etherchannel present one IP number and mac address to the
network?  If so, then I don't see how this could work.  what leg a
packet takes on an Etherchannel is determined by an xor on the low
order bits of the source and destination mac addresses.  Between 2
computers on the same switch these addresses will always be the same
and therefore always use the same etherchannel legs.  It will not
round-robin your packets between the legs.
