allow you to use the 5.1 client instead of the buggy 5.5 one but the

need to swap from one to another.
Give each version of gds32.dll in your system directory its own name. For
example, I currently have gds32.dll for ib 6.x, gds32_FB.dll for Firebird
and gds32_56.dll for for IB 5.6.
Edit the IB_Session511.pas unit, replacing the string with the appropriate
new name that you have given to the library. Save the unit with a useful
variation of the original filename.
In your project (e.g. I do this with three different builds of ib_sql), add
this unit as the *first* member of the uses clause in the dpr file.
Compile. Rename the exe appropriately so that you know which version of
the app "belongs" to which server.
Now your exe will connect through the appropriate version of the client
library.
As for remote clients using the right client to connect to *your* server,
well, you will need to do similar on the client machines to achieve this.
I haven't had any problems having connections via two different versions of
gds32.dll simultaneously to two different server versions; however, my
servers are in a tight LAN, so I can't vouch for a more distributed setup...
