I would like to know if it is possible to allow the Bitcoin client to always fetch a wallet.dat file from a different location than the default one. The reason for this is that I can safely and securely keep a wallet.dat in an encrypted drive and only load it up when I need to. I dont always have my client on, but when I do, it would be better for security purposes to fetch my wallet.dat from a different location.

Anyone knows if this is possible?
