well, I was not sure where in the install process you would set the 
domain level. If you create
a 4.2 replica from a 4.1 server and in the instance creation of the 4.2 
replica you set the domain level automatically,
it depends on when it  is done what side effects it will have. but maybe 
I miss that this already is handled
