OT - Dynamic Routing on a Firewall?

Hiya folks,

I was wondering if the group could share some pro/cons of running dynamic
routing protocols on a firewall?
Can anyone share their experience with this?

I have a few branch offices connected to HQ in a hub and spoke fashion via
metro ethernet links. I am looking to add VPN as a backup (each branch has
local internet access). The routers are currently runnign OSPF.

I am thinking of doing it all on the ASA platform to save money, but
something in my gut tells me to leave the routing up to routers. So I am
thinking I might need to bite the bullet and buy some routers too.

What do you think?
