Sounds like the EC2 execute node case.

IIRC, problems will depend on if the Collector <-> Startd talk to one 
another over the private network or public (you'd want public).

I have some notes on how to configure the startd to use the public 
interface in EC2, but it looks like I've not written them up yet. I'd 
suggest googling around for condor in ec2 for the time being. A nice 
keyword will be TCP_FORWARDING_HOST.

Best,
