Geography is meaningless, the DHCP setup doesn't care if they are 500 miles
away or 50 feet away in the next room.
However the system would be better off with a DHCP at each location that
serves the particular subnets at that location. You don't want a WAN link
to go down because someone forty miles away cut a line with a backhoe and
leave the remote machines "helpless" without a DHCP to get their network
configuration from. Remote networks need to be designed so they are at least
semi-independent and can at least function to a certain degree even if they
are cut off from the outside world.
