4.1 and 5.6 should be enough if the topic is only to connect to servers from 4.1 to 5.6, a 5.6 client will happily connct to a >= 5.1 server 4.1 has a older protocol version and is AFAIk not supported by recent client libraries, at least recent PHP versions can not connect to servers older than 5.x
