Are you sure?  While helping to betatest 3.0 PR, I made my 2.0 server into
a netinfo client of the 3.0 test server.  I accidentally changed a value
for the 2.0 machine from the 3.0 machine and I totally destroyed my 2.0
netinfo database.  I was eventually forced to do a BuildDisk to restore
my 2.0 machine so that it could be a server again.
