Yes, that's what I was thinking.

Yes, that sounds strange, it looks like OSPF isn't able to gather the IP 
address since the virtual-template use an unnumbered source address.

However, trying to give an explicit address to the virtual-template isn't of 
any use, the IOS disables IP processing altogether on the cloned interfaces 
(maybe because the cloned interfaces would overlap).

Yes, the router is already in production with hundreds of peers, everything 
(except ospf) seem to be working fine.

Thanks,
