I really do not see how one can rely on one rov for 
"everything."  Some sheilos require expertise in particular areas, 
and I doubt that one rov will have expertise in all areas.

Let's take kashrus, for example.  Many rabbonim do not have detailed 
knowledge about kashrus.  In fact, my experience has been that aside 
from those rabbonim who are involved in kashrus,  most rabbonim have 
no more knowledge than the average consumer when it comes to 
kashrus.  If one wants specific detailed knowledge,  then one has to 
consult with a rov who is active in the field of kashrus.
