Correct.

Perhaps. Load Balancing is not as easy as people think.

But keep in mind that fast processing's job is to limit the lookup of the
routing table (forwarding table I guess). So even if you have two equal
cost routes to a destination, by default, it will use one and only one
link. If it didn't, it kinda defeats the purpose of fast-processing. If
you do a "sho ip cache" you'll see what I mean.
