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. <br><br>
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.
