Cisco ASA and uRPF

We are opening a new office, which will have two fibre circuits back to our core. In the past we would simply run them active/backup but id like to take advantage of both if possible.

​

Setup will be as follows:

Switches > ASA Cluster > 2 x fibre back to diverse routers in diverse DC's.

​

We are looking at running OSPF to distribute default routes down to the ASA's, hoping to to take advantage of ECMP to use both links at once.

​

My question is will uRPF/ip verify cause issues with this? The Firewalls will have default routes with same metric over 2 different interfaces, but im not quite clear on uRPF strict checks, as ASA cannot run loose mode. If a packet is sent out uplink1 but reply is received from uplink 2 will that cause uRPF to fail if there is a default route via both uplinks?
