That should be fine.  The Stanford WebAuth environment fully supports
servers running on non-Stanford networks.

The only piece that you will have to work around is that you may not be
able to run wallet directly on the Amazon EC2 instance, so you may have to
download the WebAuth keytab elsewhere locally and then copy it (securely)
to the node at Amazon.
