I believe this is a limitation of all the current trunking technologies (at least, the one that Sun, Cisco, NetApp, and 3Com use for 100bT in any case).
Whoa! Sun supports round robin on its trunks so you CAN get 400Mbps in one direction. NetApp will allegedly do whatever the link partner will do. Thus, although I haven't verified it, if you connect a Sun and a NAC back to back you should get 400Mbps.
What's really interesting is that the difference in cost on the Sun client side favors gigabit, i.e. last time I checked the qfe and trunking software were significantly more expensive than the gig. I haven't looked into the switch costs as in my organization the network falls under the jurisdiction of a separate entity.
