Can I use the universal forwarder 4.2 to send data to an indexer running Splunk 4.1.7 (or older) ?
Yes, see docs at http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Deploy/Deploymentoverview.
The universal forwarder is backwards compatible with older Splunk indexers. You can forward data to any Splunk indexers, version 3.4.14 or above.
