Bongchul,

We're experimenting with running an LDM in the cloud, so yes, it's possible. 
The thing to watch-out for is bandwidth use. Getting data to an LDM in the 
cloud is much cheaper than having that cloud LDM relay that data to many other 
sites. The cloud providers don't, in general, own the network, so you have to 
carefully consider the bandwidth charges.

Tom knows more about this than I do.
