I've got a Raspberry Pi running a Bitcoin Full Node (bitcoin-Qt) and I have successfully configured my Ubuntu workstation running Bitcoin Core 0.11.1 with an off-line wallet with the 'addnode' parameter in bitcoin.conf and it's pulling most of the blocks from the Pi on the same subnet due to low latency. I have a couple of AntMiners on the same subnet also. I would like to know if it is possible to configure the AntMiners to do the same thing, to configure them to force them to add my node as one of the nodes it uses when mining instead of just using the usual node harvesting process (through IRC or via the embedded nodelist). Has anyone done this?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

You can achieve this by using the -connect=IP_ADDRESS parameter.
But the addnode parameter works fine too.

Thanks for the reply. I know I can use these settings with Bitcoin Core. Are you saying that these commands that typically are used with Bitcoin Core in bitcoin.conf will also work on a Miner in cgminer.conf? That is my question. Can I configure the miner to add my bitcoin full node as one of the full nodes it uses when mining?
