ASA 5550 Failover - Do the firewalls have to be at the same site?

I am trying think of a better way to provide redundancy on some internally protected networks.  We maintain our own WAN/backbone between our primary site and backup site.  Is it possible to have two Cisco ASA 5550s in setup for failover at completely different sites as long the networks connected are available?

I think I can answer this one myself.  As long as the latency of the WAN/backbone doesn't exceed 10ms, this is possible.

I have a pair of 5540's that are configured this way - works great, no problems.
