flight plan with VFR airports but IFR route?

Hi,

I'm planning a flight which has both departure and arrival airports that are VFR only, but I'd like to fly most of the route in IFR, to take advantage of IFR rules, airways, etc. How would one file such a flight plan though?

Because both departure and arrival airports are VFR only, I guess a V (VFR) flight plan has to be filed. but then, can I put in IFR sections, something like:

WP1 IFR AWY1 WP2 AWY2 WP3 VFR WP4

where WP[1..4] are waypoints, and AWY[1..2] are airway designators.

would this work? if not, how to go about this?

any pointers welcome
