Funny, I just asked a similar question on Server Fault the other day and
was greeted with the sole response "you want a jag but want to spend for
only a kia" or something along those lines.

There is nothing technically not-doable about it, but current
infrastructure doesn't really permit it (for IPv4 space anyway).  IPv6
is no problem, you can get tunnels to/from anywhere and bond use
IPSec+bonding to get to the router if you want.  In fact, it is even
easy, if you know the utilities to control the networking stack well.
