Mixing fBSD 4 and 5 - NFS ACL's

Hi,

I need to use the new ACL feature on one of our servers..... However the
data doesn't reside on the server that its being served from it is
mounted via NFS.

Im guessing I will need to install fBSD5 on the two servers I want to
use ACL on, but will the other fBSD4 servers still be able to use NFS ok
(they don't need to use ACL)??

Guess the question is can fBSD4 machines use fBSD5 NFS servers ok, and
also, how stable is / does ACL even work between to fBSD5 machines using
NFS?

Ta,
