SPA VPN DMVPN with multiple wan ethernet links

I have 2 1gb wan ethernet pipes coming into our new building.  Our ISP has brought both connections in on the same (vlan) on their end (non internet).  I basically need this setup so I get the best performance out of the 2 1gb connections.  The provider said they won't port channel to me.  So if I use the below configuration how will it treat the 2 switchport wan connections.  Will spanning tree block one port and forward out the other.  I am trying to figure out how to load-balance the 2 wan connections through a DMVPN SPA VPN (This site would be the hub of a DMVPN environment).  The 2 Gigabit interfaces would be my wan connections. (G1/2, G1/1).   Will a bridge group work with the spa vpn adapter.  I know they have alot of limitations.

Any suggestions???

No one has any comments or ideas on this ?

First of all please advise what mode you're running your VPN SPA in and which software release.

If you cannot run BGP to advertise one prefix into both links I would rather rely on load-banacing on routing protocol level.

As a general note VRF or CCA are more efficient since not ALL traffic is passing via SPA.

edit: corrected unfortunate phrasing.

We have to encrypt every packet on our network.  (dang FBI mandates).  I really would like to bundle or channel the to links (layer 2 solution) and use a vlan interface for the IP, and to maximize the 2 connections.  Not just a failover connection.  Software code is 12.2.33SXI3.

Well, the wisest answer I have is "it depends".

It depends on what's on the other side of the links and what they are willing to do.

If they are not willing to do portchannel on their side ... only L3 solutions some to mind.

Can you maybe scetch a diagram?
