Aodhan,
You could create all temporary tables in a different database "create
temporary table [db_to_ignore].tablename..." and then ignore that
database in the replication stream by setting the following option in
your config
replicate-ignore-db=[db_to_ignore]
you could also use replicate-ignore-table to ignore each individual
table name you use.
