This should never happen unless a client of your consumer is trying to 
update the consumer's DB. Which it can't, since its server is a consumer 
(slave). Therefore you have to have a mechanism that tells the consumer 
where to go for updates, a referral mechanism. By configuring the 
consumer for "chaining" this can be done (my site does it), but it's not 
always immediately obvious from the docs how to get this working (took 
me a long time, anyhow, trying different alternatives, whereof one - and 
only one - finally worked). I'm totally dependent on chaining on one of 
my 3 consumers.
