I'd fasten a 2 foot long aluminium rod across the back of the luggage rack and mount the case to that and the seat post for stability.
What do you think, would the case mount like that?
That could work. Check out this pix that I found showing the wheels:

The only caution would be the durability of the wheels on the case. I am at work, so I can't see them right now, but I would imagine they would be fine for rolling around the floors in most airports, but not asphalt. Maybe you could install stronger inline skate wheels on the case? I'll report back.
