It works, absolutely!We have libraries of fosmids (~30-40kb) for which we have sequenced the ends only, to map them to our genome. We assemble the genomes with these reads - very useful to scaffold contigs and close the gaps!
If you design your PCR primers with consed, which checks that they are not in repeated regions, it should be fine too. I would be curious to see the result, by the way...

This is, in fact, almost a prototype definition of a pairedend :-) Bastien
