Yes, I've set up several customers with similar environments. Given that
the systems are set up properly, the only issue you could possibly have
would be bandwidth issues between the two sites.

The primary server would use the library, while the offsite server would
"run" the library. Take a look at the portion of the administrative
guide on setting up virtual volumes to set up how your primary server
would access the library.
