According to Endpoint Security Management Server Administration Guide R80.20 p.74ff:

Installing and Configuring an Endpoint Policy Server

We recommend that you use a distributed deployment that contains external Endpoint Policy Servers on dedicated computers.

• Install at least one Endpoint Policy Server for each remote site.

• For larger sites, install many Endpoint Policy Servers to improve performance.

An Endpoint Policy Server is a Log Server that you configure as an Endpoint Policy Server.

An Endpoint Security Management Server will support and communicate with a large number of Endpoint Policy Servers that communicate with the Endpoint Clients.

Yes, that's possible.

Have a look at the documentation for "Endpoint Policy Server Proximity Analysis"

######snip from CP_R80.20_EndpointSecurity_AdminGuide.pdf#############

In a large network, multiple Endpoint Policy Servers can be available for an endpoint client. In such an environment, the client does an analysis from a list of Endpoint Policy Servers to find the server closest to it. The client sends a specified HTTP request to all Endpoint Policy Servers on the list. The server that replies the fastest is considered to be closest.
