Hi,

For some reason my original response to this didn't
make it...

To do router -- switch -- router , each router-switch
connection would be it's own etherchannel. The switch
needs to be configured for channeling on the 2 ports
connecting to router1 and also on ports going to
router2. On the switch, this would be 2 channel groups
w/different admin group #s. I would also set the
channel to on as well.

On the routers you would have a config like:

int fastethernet0
   no ip address
   no sh
   channel-group 1

int fastethernet1
   no ip address
   no sh
   channel-group 1

int port-channel 1
   ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
   etc...
   no sh

If you're doing VLAN trunking over channel, then you
can configure VLAN encapsulated sub's on the
port-channel like:

int port-channel 1
  no sh

int port-channel 1.1
   desc vlan 1
   encaps dot1q 1
   ip address 1.x.x.x y.y.y.y

int port-channel 1.2
   desc VLAN 2 -- NATIVE VLAN
   encaps dot1q 2 native
   ip address 2.x.x.x y.y.y.y
