I was using a 2.3 master to replicate to 2.1 replicas without any
problems.  There are a few threads (some involving me, some involving
other people) about which versions can replicate to which other
versions.

To check if they're perfectly in-sync, you can slapcat both at a known
interval and compare.  The entryCSN and entryUUID attributes should
match on all of your entries since they all came from the same seed
slapcat.
