What prevents you from picking one source address for packets going out 
both interfaces? Your return packets won't be striped then of course. 
(Which could make this scheme ineffective, assuming "client" machines 
receive much more than they send.)

  

(Aside: Whether or not NAT is present is orthogonal to striping, just 
assume the NAT box is the source/sink for all traffic.)

I didn't know about that, thanks for the pointer! I use ipfw strictly as 
a firewall :-)
