Haven't read through all of this thread, so apologies if this question has already been asked and answered.
Does the leaserig system and its miners support the old-school 'getwork' protocol? IOW, if I give a http URL instead of stratum+tcp:// will everything work? I want the rig to connect directly to my client for solo mining.

Somebody is doing solo mining on my rig. So yes, it works
I've done my first buy and it is solo mining as expected... but given that you have no control over finer configuration such as poll period it is probably just wasting hashes.
I'm on a coin that is currently finding 2 or 3 blocks per minute, but the leased miner is only connecting once per 60 seconds to get work. This means it will be routinely spending time working on blocks that were already found by someone else, and it will miss having a go at more than half of the blocks.
Really need a reverse stratum proxy that lets the miner connect via stratum, but do getwork to the local client. Basically like a simple pool.
BTW: if you're solo mining remember that the guy running the miner will have full RPC access, which means access to your wallet. I am using a throwaway client with a script that sweeps any balance above 1 to another client/account.
