Rails - Mar 2006 - Oracle connection problems when connecting to multiple databases

I have a rails application that connects to two different databases.  The
first (primary) database is MySQL and the second is Oracle.  I have followed
the example in the Rails Recipes book and I have created a base class for
the models connecting to oracle like this:


class ConferenceBase < ActiveRecord::Base
	establish_connection :conference
end

:conference is setup in the database.yml.

A model subclass can now connect to my Oracle database -- a little too well.
Every time I do anything with a subclass of this model it establishes a NEW
connection.  Does anyone know how to do this so a new connection to Oracle
is created everytime you access the model?
