I’m trying to find the best way to separate the master from the slaves for 
security requirements.

In terms of network, I’m not allow to get connection from slaves to master.
In terms of database, I use per table granularity replication.

Any other idea ?

This will work as long as you don't try to execute write queries on the slony 
master, because it's a standby node and, as such, can only execute read 
queries. Meaning I'm wondering why you would use such a scheme.
