Can the oracle client version be superior than Server's?
Is it valid to have that kind of configuration?
E.g:
- Server Version
10gand Client Version11g? - Server Version
9iand Client Version10g?

Yes, Oracle client drivers can talk to older versions of the server. I was using a 10g driver for a long time to access 8 and 9.
The technical term is "Client / Server Interoperability Support", see this page for links: http://blog.oracle48.nl/oracle-database-version-compatibility-and-support-matrix/
