Not right now.  With Quantum, a router can only uplink to a single
external network, and you can have at most one floating IP per
external network (otherwise we could not unambiguously apply the
policy of SNAT-ing VM initiated connections to the floating IP).  In
Grizzly, we're planning on making router uplinks more sophisticated,
which will include not only the ability to uplink to multiple networks
with floating IPs, but also uplink to other types of connectivity,
such as an external VPN.

I'll update the admin guide to make this clear.
