i understand that ldap is a protocol but it occurred to me that a database change (where tables and the like might be different and slapd version dependent) might need to be a sitewide thing, not a server by server thing (meaning the 2.4 servers, once the "database" is mirrored from the master server, might not understand the new format?).

LDAP is a protocol, the internal change to the MDB database structure is
immaterial.
