There has to be a bright spot to all this...well, I can go on vacation and anything I mine while i'm gone will HOdl automatically....yeah, not much of a bright spot.

ok, so can someone tell me how I avoid having to have multiple wallets on multiple machines in multiple locations?  without mining to a pool that may or may not be there in a year when they can send me my coins?  I'd like to keep this all on one wallet address (something which is not a problem now mining to the pools).  Would it be possible to do this if I set up my own pool just for my machines?  And if so, how in the world do I do that?
