they make axle mounded racks as posted above. If you don't like the brake mount then you can use some alternative for the top. That doesn't change the fact that for the bottom, the axle mount is still your best bet if you aren't going to weld the frame.
if i really needed to have secure mounts i'd have some eyelets welded on to the dropout.
they also manufacture tings like dis, which can be an alternative to the brake mount or the p-clamps, but they can force you to raise your rack to lofty heights. annoying.
the last thing i'd use are p-clamps for any of the mounts.
all in all, i'd just have a frame builder weld some eyelets on for the price of lunch. If i wasn't welding i'd use the streamliner posted above. I doubt it's going to swing much when securely fixed by the axle.
