First "context" is something we use to describe a segment of the  
dialplan. I would call this "section".

No. You can only add one.

Normally I would add host=sip.mydomain.com and have multiple DNS  
entries or use SRV records to do failover and such,
provided you use this for outbound calls.

Since you call this peer "carrier" I assume you want to handle inbound  
calls. Today, you will have to define three different
peers, but remember that you can use templates.

[carrier](!)
type=peer
disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=ulaw
canreinvite=no
insecure=yes
qualify=yes

[carrier-01](carrier)
host=<ip address1>

[carrier-02](carrier)
host=<ip address2>

[carrier-03](carrier)
host=<ip address3>

You will now have three peers named carrier-01-03 but no peer named  
"carrier" in your sip driver when you run "sip show peers".
