In fact, the server - the IMAP server  is "version agnostic". We can store 
kolab v2 and kolab v3 in the same imap store. The version is  just a client 
choice ( but, yes, the web client is packaged with the server)
So I think the DNS records is a good choice.
Sometime we need to do things; it is not necessary to have wizards for every 
small step.
