If you use full housing, you should not have this problem as the shifter and derailluer will act as cable stops and the zip ties will simply hold the cable in place.
True enough on #2.The full length housing from shifter to derailer is one way to do it,and provide positive end stops for the cable.but that much housing could in in itself cause shifting problems. Never done it that way,so duno for sure though.You would have to leave enough of a loop in the derailer end of the casing to allow for derailer movement.
