I need to select hub-and-spoke VPN technology. There are ~60 spokes (17xx routers) and central site (2x 3725 for redundancy, one ISP).
There is a plan to monitor routers and other equipment with HP OpenView NNM 6.41 (without ET). Also for routers maintenance CiscoWorks RWAN 1.3.
Possible designs:
1. EasyVPN Server configured 3725 on the center (ether HSPR EasyVPN Server, ether route-injection with routing between EazyVPN servers) EasyVPN Remote configured 17xx (ether with one EazyVPN server HSRP address, ether 2 server addresses)
2. Static IPSEC cryptomamp
3. Static IPSEC/GRE
4. Partial/Full DMVPN/mGRE/NHRP Dual Hub implementation with singe DMVPN layout.
***
Currently spoke-to-spoke traffic non-exists, and even there is a plan sometimes to restrict spoke-to-spoke for security. Physical WAN topology allows full-mesh traffic (ISP have big routed WAN, without MPLS). So I want to leave a chances for utilizing spoke-to-spoke traffic flows in future.
I have successful EazyVPN desigs. But I found now that Cisco TAC do not recommend EazyVPN on LAN-to-LAN environments Only for Remote access.
What is better looking design for monitoring via NNM? IPSEC, IPSEC/GRE, EzVPN, mGRE? Any experience? GRE will looks like physical p2p line – that is good. mGRE – one big subnet – not bad. What about EazyVPN?
Does DMVPN support HSRP cluster on HUB router?
P.S. Dear all, I waiting for you opinion.

If you looking for ease of deployment and maintainence, router MC is also a good option. More information is available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps3994/products_data_sheet09186a00800fcb85.html

Organization decide to cut some costs and use SDM instead of VMS :)
After long thinkings I decide to use DMVPN with mGRE. mGRE tunell interface subnet looks fine inside NNM 6.41.
