Would you mind elaborating? I'm looking for resilience (i.e. IPMP) not performance (which, if I understand correctly, is what channel bonding gives you)? By my understanding, pfil's ipmp interface is meant to give you a logical handle to the "active" interface within an IPMP group. It seems logical that the "to if:ip" syntax should work in this context. If this understanding is wrong, please enlighten me :)
I suggest you google a little more. Channel bonding provides resilience. It can also provide additional performance, if you wish (degrading gracefully as you loose links). IPMP is a hack Sun created because their driver model couldn't handle true bonding - that has been fixed in Solaris 10, but only for certain drivers (many have yet to be ported to the new framework).
