Yes you can.  There's two normal configurations.  One involves a "private" 
lan where basically your HMC is hooked up to the FSP on your rack(s) and 
nothing else.  The other is they are both on the WAN.  Sometimes it takes 
a few raps to the head of your local CE(s) to get them to accept the 
second.  And a few CE's are known to carry a cheap router and a few cables 
to create a private lan between the HMC and the FSP for when they are 
onsite during certain major upgrades.
What we do is keep a HMC, on the WAN, at each site.  Therefore we get 
redundant HMC's.  Each HMC can control all systems.
