Meaning that messages published in London and Moscow can be consumed in 
Cloud.

Did you do that on the Cloud machine? It sounds like you did - but here 
you're telling it to connect to itself?

I think what you want to do is:

* Create the London / Moscow users on the London / Moscow boxes
* Add upstreams for London / Moscow on Cloud, pointing to the London / 
Moscow machines
* Set the federation policy on Cloud
* If you have deleted / restricted the "guest" account on Cloud, then 
set "local-username" to another account that is able to publish messages

Cheers, Simon
