hard link questions

I have a couple questions about hard links.

1. Is there an easy way to determine if a file is actually a hard link? (or
locate files with multiple references?)

2. What are the circumstances where symbolic links do not work? I love
symbolic links but some utilities such as "tftp" doesn't follow the link.
This is usually frustrating since it takes time to determine what the
problem since most things work. (even NFS exported mounts)

TIA
