How can I create Mirror of amazon MySQL RDS instance and connect to it?

How can I create Mirror of amazon MySQL RDS instance and connect to this
instance,
I read about that amazon has automatic backup for RDS instances and
automatic restores it, they have automated backup and DB snapshot, so i
guess it's possible to connect to the DB snapshot.
Well i simply want to connect to a mirror of my production RDS instance so
i can run heavy queries without affect the production performance.
I wasn't able to find in amazon FAQ
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14712432/copying-or-replicating-amazon-rds-mysql-weekly)
This question also didn't help me to understand if i can do it and how

Also a good reference will be here : http://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/#23
but i couldn't get what should be done in order to connect to such
instance.
is it possible? can you explain how?
