We will be seperating the trip into two parts. The first part is our trip to Australia and back and is pretty set in terms of destinations (due to time constraints), the second just using the 6 North American segments add some miles to my account.

Just wanted to see what the pros thought of my routing.

Part 1) LAX-SYD-JNB-CPT-LHR-SFO (and return to LAX via cheap tix on VX, AS, AA, etc.)
Part 2) SFo-DFW-SAN-ORD-MIA-JFK-LAX... adding 9100 miles.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
As has been pointed out you would only have two stopovers in NA which would seriously limit the utility of the NA segments for other than mileage running. Based upon your current itinerary you could also consider a circle pacific since the Africa and EUR segments don't seem to be a major consideration.
