I was just given an Apple Cinema 30. I am probably going to sell my Dell 2410. Is it possible to run both at the same time off the MBP? It is a late 2011 17 inch. If so, what do I need to buy? Thanks

No, it's not. To run dual monitors, you'd need at least one thunderbolt display, and then you'd have to daisy chain another display adapter to it.
Also, you'll need a MiniDisplayPort/Thunderbolt to Dual Link DVI adapter to run that 30" on your MBP.
