This is very cool.  I've been tinkering with this kind of thing  
myself, and ran up against the table-prefix problem.  A couple  
thoughts...

It seems you could automate this with a simple logic test.  If the  
table prefix of the table used is the same as the current install's  
prefix, then it is the master.  Otherwise it is a slave.

I'm definitely testing this out.  I'll let you know if I come across  
any issues or ideas. :) Thanks!

Would you object if I took some of this and rolled it into a separate  
system I'm working on?
