However, I am told that PCI tier1 can only initiate connection to lower security zone, in our case slave environment ( PCI tier 2). However, for streaming rep to work, slave needs to connect to Master. Does this violate PCI requirement. Anyone has experience setting up master-salve in PCI compliance environment?

I have a simliar situation in which I do not want anything in my replica's zone to be able to initiate connections into the data center where the primary is. I have the master set up an SSH reverse tunnel to the slave, and then the slave connects to that tunnel end locally.
