This would work for sure, but depends a little on what exactly you mean.

If the Cisco's are merely acting as Routers, then it could be viewed as 
simply as this:

Phone-PBX-Asterisk--IAX--Asterisk-PBX-Phone

If the Routers are doing VPN, then there is no difference as far as 
Asterisk is concerned.

If the routers are doing NAT, then be a little careful with the 
configurations, but it /should/ work.

If the router is being used as a SIP or H.323 gateway, then it /should/ 
also work, but would seem to be a lot more complex!

Good luck!
