Hey,

Using the gem in Amazon RDS.
When Amazon RDS sets up a read slave, there are times when you have 1 minute of replication latency.

Even though 1 minute is a rare case, 10 seconds latencies happen a few times a day.

From looking and the source code, this is obviously not handles, so I am thinking about implementing a `Dirty` kind of flag, so when the flag is true, you also read from the master.

Opinions? Advice?
