yes, just configure a single dialer profile and add four "dialer string"
entries. This might delay the call setup a bit (as, by default, the
Dialer will start with the first dialer-string and move on to the next
one if the call fails to connect), but this might not be a problem in
your situation as you'll likely have the four BRI's connected all the
time.
If you are concerned, you could use the "dialer order [sequential |
round-robin | last-successful]" command to change this behavior.
