Counter cache with foreign key

Rails
1

Can I use the Rails counter_cache helper in the following situation;

Update.rb

has_many :replies, :class_name => “UpdateReply”, :dependent => :destroy

UpdateReply.rb

belongs_to :update, :counter_cache => true

At the moment, I’m getting errors, presumably because of the way the
association is built on a different class name (I have counter caches
without the class name difference working just fine). Do I need to make
my own counter cache for this or can I make the Rails helper work
somehow?

No ideas on this one?
