Create a shortcut to the ipsecc.exe program and place it in the startup 
folder. Here are the command line options available ...

ipsecc -r "name" [-u <name>][-p <pass>][-a]
   -r site configuration name
   -u connection user name
   -p connection user password
   -a auto conenct

Yes you can. However, there are a few caveats ...

1) Only a single DNS server will be active at a time
2) Your policies must be made to not overlap each other
