Recently, I've seen problems both ways.  On my 5.0.3 version director I can 
no longer use v2.4.3 windows FD clients.  The 5.0.x clients also won't work 
with older directors.  Normally this hasn't been the case with every 
upgrade I've dealt with over the last 4 yrs or so, but a few changes were 
made to the protocol to add abilities in the 5.0.0 version.

Additionally, you need the SD and Dir to be at the exact same version.

In summary, Dir and FD need to be at the same version, FD version should be 
really close if you want to be sure you can use newer features, bug fixes, etc.
