No - such a connection is totally allowed already, no special
configuration required. The server does not know (nor care) whether
the client is 32 or 64-bit.

Somehow, Windows is finding the wrong client version, via some PATH
setting, which presumably your 64-bit clients are finding correctly.

Place a copy of the 32-bit fbclient.dll in the same directory where the
client application executable is located, to ensure that Windows will
find it first and not seek it out via the PATH variable.
