I have a threadsafe object that is expensive to create and needs to be available through my application (a Lucene.Net IndexReader).

The object can become invalid, at which point I need to recreate it (IndexReader.IsCurrent is false, need a new instance using IndexReader.Reopen).

I'd like to able to use an IoC container (StructureMap) to manage the creation of the object, but I can't work out if this scenario is possible. It feels like some kind of "conditional singleton" lifecycle.

Does StructureMap provide such a feature? Any alternative suggestions?
