That's false on the Sun side.  There is a setting to use MAC addressing
or do round-robin.  If you set it, then it uses all the ports, even for
talking to a single device.

Now, you can't do anything about the incoming traffic.  That's going to
be handled by whatever device or switch you connect to...
