Etherchannel bundles 2 more ports, but you need tohave the ports connected to same device. With a router having 2 eth ports each connecting a separate switch, you cant configure channel. Secondly what is the use of configurung an etherchannel on router at one end thus pumping in data at high rate (gbps), while the output is only a few Mbps via serial or etherdrops.
One way of doing this is, take 2 subnets of /30. Assign it to 1 int each on eouter & the other Ip to each swith port to which router is connected. Then run a routing protocol among the 3 devices. This way you'll achieve load-balancing as well as redundancy.
hope that clarifies.
