no, it is not. You need 12.0S, which is the only train currently
supporting this feature (as it has very limited deployment exposure,
practically limited to one large and possibly some smaller networks).

See above, but make sure to test this in the lab first as 12.4M and
12.0S feature list is quite different (general mainline 12.4 vs. Service
Provider-centric 12.0S).

Running MPLS is no option for you?
