Hi rmcdonald75,
Potentially yes, however please pay close attention here as Undo Failover does NOT copy changes from DR to Production; changes made during the failover will be lost with Undo.
If the machines don't accumulate any data that needs to be replicated back, then your plan can work just fine; VBR will warn about this before the Undo Failover takes place (as you can see in the screenshot on the linked User Guide page)
If you need to retain the changes made to the replica while it was active, Failback is how you accomplish this, but note that Failback will have unavoidable downtime as noted in the workflow. For such cases, a maintenance window for the machines is typically the best approach.
