Frog,
There' no "connect" concept in VTP. Sw3 & sw4 do not have to "connect" to sw1 nor sw2. Donot confuse VTP server with stp root or others.
Vtp server is the one that can make changes in VLAN database. Clients can only listen & update those changes.
Sw3 & sw4 will take whatever updates made by ether sw1 or sw2, but cannot make any changes.
Actually if sw1 makes a change (eg delete a VLAN), sw2 (and the 2 VTP clients of cause) also has to action that change as well.
You can have all switches as servers, then they can all make changes, and they all have to listen & action changes made by others.

Guys,
Just wondering what will happen when we have 2 VTP servers with the same vtp
domain name in a single Broadcast domain?
SW1---------Sw2
| \ / |
| \ / |
| /\ |
| / \ |
Sw3-----------sw4
SW1 and sW2 are VTP server with same domain name .i.e. CCIE
SW3 and sW4 are configured as a VTP client for CCIE domain.
How sw3 and sw4 decides which vtp server they need to connect?
