Yep, policing IGP and i/eBGP route distribution correctly so traffic flows logically through the best path over the network as seen from both the RR clients as intra-AS hops further down the path can be a bit challenging, though you'd want every non-RR router to be a RR client and every RR to behave like an RR client to RR's in other clusters, so you'd have a reasonably uniform view of the network.
