Thanks Andrew,

We are not allowed to have network connection from the slaves to the master (for security constraints). Only master can communicate with slaves.
We need database on slaves with mix replicates tables and read/write tables.

The solution could be maybe that solution using a slony master has an Hot standby of a master protected somewhere ? 

[slony slaves] <-----> [slony master - Standby node] <----(log shipping)--|firewall|-- [master protected somewhere]

Do you think this solution can work with slony ?

Regards,

Ludovic Toinel

Not really.  In principle you could do this with the log shipping mode, but I don't recall whether doing that on the master was not possible or just a really bad idea.  (You could do this with the built-in standby mechanisms of Postgres, though.

I do wonder why you have it set up this way, however.  Why do you control the flows this way?
