Yep.

You can federate multiple Condor pools together via various mechanisms, 
the most straight-forward is via "Flocking". This works not by having 
the central managers talk to each other, but instead a given submit node 
(more precisely, a condor_schedd process) is configured to talk to 
additional central managers to find a machine.  See
