Yes you will have maby some problems because there are two new operationnal 
attributes: entryCSN and entryUUID that are unkwown in 2.0.21.  I've done 
the same as you, but i prefer to update openldap on master and slave. 
(2.0.27 to 2.3.24).
but I don't know if entryCSN and entryUUID are required or not.

it's not possible because if slapd (2.3.19) handles a DB database it can't 
handle a GDBM database. (I try to do that, I find it's not possible because 
you can't generate a slapd that links with the two. but maby I didn't do 
the right things).
But I think the database format is not a problem. The only problems will 
come with the different versions of openldap.
