This is what we do, albeit with IS-IS (Overload Bit = ON).

If you're running an MPLS network, we also don't enable MPLS 
on the route reflectors. If your route reflector is a Cisco, 
this just works. If it's a Juniper, you have to hack it a 
little more in order to get the route reflector to announce 
l3vpn routes to clients when in a state where it's not 
running MPLS; doable.

We've been happy - running this topology across two separate 
networks for years now. One runs Cisco 7201's as route 
reflectors, while the other runs Juniper M120's as route 
reflectors.

Cheers,

Mark.
