Octopus Gem for DB sharding

[ausangshukla]

I've started to integrate the octopus gem into my app which allows the app to use DB sharding. However in the tests run using spork the DB connection is only established to the master and the octopus gem is completely bypassed - thus no testing is done with the shards in place (i.e. all req are handled by only the master)

Any suggestions how to tell spork o use the octopus gem to establish connections rather than create its own connection.

Thanks
