Ideas needed: On frame Water Bladder

Finishing up a tour in Australia, and I've really found that carrying a lot of water to be a really big pain in the butt. I started out with 3, 2L water bags (which all died, mostly user error) plus 2 water bottles. I've had a hard time putting a lot of water on my bike. So the brain has been thinking hard for awhile.

So what I'm looking for information/ideas on is I want to build a water carrying system that utilizes the the inside frame of Surly Troll. My best idea is getting a custom frame made/build it myself, and throw a big water bladder inside (want about 4 to 6 litres in the frame).

Looking for other ideas/products for the frame bag and water bladder? All I know is Camelback as a brand

Note: 16" Surly Troll, rear rack, 2 water cages mounted to the front fork (water/fuel bottle), a pair of Arkel rear panniers
