We have a NetInfo network and would like to upgrade some, but not all, of the  
machines from 2.1 to 3.0. This leads me to the following two questions:

Would we encounter any problems by adding a machine running 3.0 as a NetInfo  
client on a network served by a NetInfo server that is still running 2.1?

Conversely, would we encounter any problems by adding a machine running 2.1 as  
a NetInfo client on a network served by a NetInfo server that is running 3.0?

No.

No.

NetInfo protocol has not changed from 2.x to 3.0.

No problems. I did so - runs fine. (Because of optimizations in the
3.0 NetInfo code you are encouraged to make the NetInfo server a 3.0 machine)

The NetInfo Protocol did not change (as I heard), so expect no problems too.
It should just make NetInfo faster (see above).
