If I follow, yes, this is supported and where sham links come into play. You 
can set a metric on the sham that runs over the L3vpn core so as to prefer 
intra site routing vs use of the backbone. 

The up/down bits in OSPF type 1-3s, or use of route tags for externals prevent 
looping. Also, in the VRF the BGP versions of the remote ospf sham learned 
routes remain preferred so still forward to remote site based on BGP version of 
L3vpn route even though ospf versions are also in the vrf.

Subject: [j-nsp] L3VPN PE-CE multihoming with OSPF

Hey Folks,

I have a somewhat typical duel PE and duel CE scenario. However, the two PE and 
two CE routers are all in the same subnet and the two PE routers routing 
instances can see eachother over OSPF.

I'm not sure if this is wise.

Should routing instances belonging to the same MPLS VPN be able to exchange 
routes over OSPF when OSPF is the PE-CE routing protocol and those OSPF routes 
will be part of the VPN's routing table and exported with BGP?

Could there then be an issue where a route is learned by PE-A from PE-B with 
OSPF, then from PE-B to PE-A with BGP and then around and around creating a 
route that never gets anywhere because it's self sustained?
