Gosmore, as an routing engine primarily targeted to mobile devices is not really meant to do long distance routing. However there are many occasions where it will happily calculate a route over 1000km but there are also occasions where even a route of 200km won't be found. In short: Gosmore needs some more development.
Gosmore is available as an public domain opensource project in the OSM SVN repository [1]. YOURS (which is the webAPI and website) are licensed under BSD is also in the OSM repository [2].
