Yes, you can have multiple origins into the same database, without a
problem.  I'd be worried for sure about the network unreliability,
though.  You might, however, be able to do this usefully using the
log shipping features of Slony.

I would _not_ worry about the outbound replication from the centre,
assuming that the changes are infrequent.
