Yes, it can be done BUT you have to purchase a cisco Integrated Switch Router
(ISR).
The Cisco ISR router has a NM-slot that will alow you to put in a 16
switchport module
so that the router can also function as a switch (i.e layer 2) as well. If
you're
familiar with Cisco Pix501 then you will know what I mean. the Pix501 comes
with an integrated 4-port switch on the "inside" interface. Same idea with
the
Cisco ISR router with the exception that you can use up to 16-switchport
network
module.
Either the Cisco ISR 2845 or Cisco ISR 3845 will let you do this. Because
this is a switch, everything from the Nokia will be connected to layer-2 and
they
will be able to communicate with each other via vrrp.
HTH.

I know some Cisco stuff although I'm no expert, but as far as I know a Cisco
router would not allow you to do such thing, it expects each interface to
belong to a different network and is expected for you to have a switch or
hub behind it to make the network distribution to other hosts.
A while ago I read something about a feature called something like "ether
channel", that allowed for a two ports on a router to be used as a single
one to increase throughtput, but since I don't know details about that, I
rather suggest for you to get a switch.
BTW... why is it that you don't want to put a sw o hub between the cluster
and the router?
