      and I'm trying to send traffic out to different physical adaptors let say vmnic 2 and vmnic 3

      For what purpose? The connect vmnic2 and 3 to the same vswitch and setup whatever load balancing or load sharing you want in esxi..

        but let say if the traffic between VLANs reaching 500mbps it will create a bottleneck on one interface that would not be the case if the traffic using two ports?

        And how does putting 2 interfaces in the same vlan solve that problem?

        Use different uplinks for your difrerent vlans.. vmnic 2 vlan X, vmnic 3 vlan Y... Putting vlan X on both vmnic 2 and 3 does what?? Put all your vmnics into same vswitch.. Use your port groups to break out the vlans. setup lagg of these 4 nics to your switch from esxi
