I want to upgrade one of my mail servers to domino 6 but leave my other domino server on R5.
Are there any issues? The Redbook says you can do this but does not explain what to do so replication doesn’t send over R6 template data to the R5 server.
I am looking for a list of things I have to take care of to setup a Coexistence.
Thank you!

I did this without any problems. All templates that will not work on an R5 server have differant replica ID’s from what I have seen so far. The Public Address Book has design elements for R5 and ND6 in it so it will work with both versions. All I did was upgrade the server and let it go. I did not have any problems and I have yet to have any problems with server to server stuff. The only problem that you may run into is if you use 6.0 and not 6.0.1. There is a bug fix that will keep the public address book from becoming corrupted on the R5 server if you access the address book with an ND6 admin client. 6.0.1 fixes this problem.
Good luck. Hope this was helpful.
