4.x binaries on a 5.x machine ...

I'm looking at adding my first 5.x server onto our network, but am 
wondering how 'backward compatible' things are still ...

Mainly, could I run a 4.x jail'd environment on a 5.x server, or would I 
have to upgrade the jail first?

Long term goal is to move all boxes over to 5.x, but I can't do it all at 
once ... I also want to spend some time testing/making sure that 5.x will 
work in our environment, which means any jail's I move over to the server 
need to be able to be copied back again to a 4.x server if things don't 
work ... so leaving the jail environment itself "4.x" is prefer'd ...

Thanks ...
