I think to do this you also need to be connected to a managed switch
which supports interface bonding. You would have to tell it that the two
switch ports are bonded to the same machine. That should prevent it from
forwarding packets received on one of the ports out via the other port.

The key phrase to look for appears to be "IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link
Aggregation".
