Why would you think its not possible ? You have cram lots of nics in =
almost
any operating system and have multiple interfaces.

Use a dynamic routing protocol.... rip,ripng,ospf, bgp. =20

read up on the above dynamic routing protocols. Cisco has some good books
on BGP and OSPF as well as many online documents.  You can use zebra for
similar routing on FreeBSD (www.zebra.org)
