I'm not sure what your saying there.
Your DS will be automatically upgraded once a PS4 box is introduced to the farm. Outside of doing a restore to the DS, there is no way of downgrading the DS if you remove the server.
If your going to run a mixed version environment, it is best practice to have a zone for each version. So if your farm is PS3 and PS4 (assuming PS3 is NOT running SP1), then you'd have a zone for PS3 and a zone for PS4. A zone REQUIRES a ZDC so if you have a PS4 zone, you have a PS4 ZDC for that zone. There are too many issues with mixing a single zone with multiple versions. this comes from cold, hard experience.

So - ok to upgrade your DS to PS4, but not have at least 1 ZDCs/Connection server on PS4?

Always keep the versions in their own zones. That eliminates the problems.
