Fedora directory users - Nov 2008 - Question about upgrading

Long time fedora-ds user here with a few questions about upgrading and
hoping knowledgeable folks can provide some feedback.

I am currently running Fedora DS on Centos 4.7 and Centos 5 servers. All
servers run v1.0.1.

1) Can the Centos 4 machines running v1.0.1 upgrade to the latest v1.1.3
without any problems?
2) Is v1.1.3 even supported on Centos 4? Are there rpm''s for it?
3) When upgrading Fedora DS versions, must they all be upgraded
simultaneously?
4) Say one server is running v1.0.1 and another server is running 1.1.3,
can data be replicated from a v1.0.1 server to a v1.1.3 server? How
about vice-a-versa?

3 of our 4 Fedora DS servers can be upgraded to run Centos 5 w/ Fedora
DS v1.1.3 but we''d like to keep one server running Centos 4.7 for the
time being due to legacy software requirements.

Yes, but you''ll have to build it yourself - we do not have pre-built 
binaries for el4

There are no rpms for el4 - you''ll have to build it

No.  One at a time is fine.  Replication should just work regardless of 
the version.
