1) It's been said (but I've never experienced it) that IAX performs poorly 
at high channel levels. Something about all those packets being handled 
with a single socket (bound to port 4569). Maybe the OP is trying to 
distribute the load over a handful of sockets.

2) Maybe the OP is trying to distribute the load over different physical 
media.

3) Maybe the OP is just trying to develop a load balancing methodology.

Multiple trunks between the same pair of hosts does seem odd.
