Naw,..Port Trunking is a VLAN thing where the router uses the same physical
interface (with same cable and switch port) to serve multiple VLANs. The
line between it and the switch becomes the Trunk Line. Investigate the term
"Router on a stick" for more details.

For load balancing, the right way, requires a switch that is specifically
designed for load balancing multiple NICs.
