'ip ospf brodacast ' works just fine even on FR
networks, you do have to remember to ensure that the
spoke router becomes the DR and if there's going to be
a BDR then it should be reachable by all the other
routers...the problem with the config below is the
fact that u did not set 'ip ospf priority' to 0 on the
spoke routers.
