Load balancing IPSEC traffic (going throught MPLS Cloud)

mariolaniel

Is it possible to set up VPN/IPSEC where the main pop router has two points of entry into an MPLS cloud and about 50 other pop and somehow automatically load balance the VPN traffic from the main pop over two Ethernet interfaces. If the main pop has two equal cost paths to the MPLS cloud and one applies the same crypto map to both interfaces, will encrypted traffic be sent over each one of the links.

P.S. We're using a 6509 and VPN service Module blade at the main pop and 2621 with AIM module everywhere else.

What happens to normal packets? are they load balanced over the links..does the routing protocol used support load balancing? If this is the case, vpn traffic should also be load balanced.
