cmccul002,

I believe this question is beyond the scope of the CCENT and CCNA exams. Ask that on the CCNP board.

You can with dual homing, but you will not being using regular home routers to do it. If you want more info on it you can find it in the BSCI curriculum.

No but if you have a decent router (something higher than a SoHo type) you can look at load balancing per destination type, your traffic across the two links from the router aggregating the links.
