I have a cisco 2911 router. One interface is connected to local head quarter network, the second one is connected to service provider internet service. I want to connect the third interface to connect it to the MPLS VPN conection provided by the service provider. This third interface will connect all the remote branch offices. Is it possible?

Yes!
You then need to play with routes so that all the remote branches are reached through the MPLS network, Internet (0.0.0.0/0) through the Internet link, and HQ subnets are local to the router. You can do it with static routes easily.

Hi
Yes, it is possible, basically it is as connect other router to the 3rd interface to know the internal prefixes in other region or site. Just take in consideration configure the routing protocol / static routing between your local router and the remote router in order to avoid forward the traffic to the Internet.
The prefixes learned by the routing protocol will be preferred over the default route.
Hope it is useful
