Even though http://www.pythian.com states that Pythian does "remote database management", we actually do both onsite and remote work. I think of a database as a garden -- the onsite work is good for the bigger projects, like planning out landscaping (and maybe even doing it) and planting, and the remote work is great for weeding, mowing the lawn, watering the garden, etc. As you say, if the communication is good, even the bigger projects can be done remotely.
