I posted on this topic last September. (See http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg05692.html)
I was able to use Cassandra across EC2regions. However, the trick is that you have must use the "external" addresses in your storage-conf.xml, but since you don't have a NIC that can actually bind to those addresses, you need to listen on the "internal" addresses (or, more simply, all interfaces) At the time, I was not able to get the cross-region cluster to work without making changes to the Cassandra code. Perhaps things have evolved so that there are other ways to do it now.
