I presume you mean mixing both Samba3 and Samba4 domain controllers in
one domain?  This is not possible.  Any upgrade to samba4 would prevent
you running a Samba3 DC.  We don't support 'mixed mode' like that.

We also don't support hosting Samba4 on a 'unix like' LDAP server
layout.  The schema is the AD schema.  (FreeIPA is trying to create a
setup with a unix-like schema, but you will have to ask them about their
progress). 

We also don't yet have good upgrade scripts from Samba3.  It can be
done, but a lot of the task will be manual. 

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
