Mining private coin with no peers?

[btcrich]

Is this possible?  Sometimes I'm the only one trying to mine a private coin that a few of us are messing around with.  When no peers are online, cgminer says I'm disconnected and stops mining.  Is there a way to continue mining and have peers catch up whenever they're back on?

set up a second node locally

And just use connect=10.0.0.xx in config?

Cool.  Will try that. Thanks.
