John,

I have come across ODR in production a couple of times. Up until 
recently I had thought that ODR worked quite well for hub and spoke 
topologies...

My most recent involvement with ODR occurred when replacing a 2621 with 
a 3745, which was the hub of the hub-and-spoke topology. I quickly 
learned that the 3745 doesn't enable CDP by default. I was also reminded 
that Cisco doesn't save configuration commands that are considered 
default...

What ended up happening was CDP was not enabled by default and when I 
enabled it ("cdp run") the command wouldn't save because it was 
considered a "default" command! Each time the router booted CDP was 
disabled again!

I recommend to everyone that ODR not be used in a Cisco production 
environment. You never know when an IOS (platform?) bug will render your 
WAN unusable!
