Does anyone know if my road bike 9-speed ultegra derailer will work with a new 10-speed drivetrain?

My 9-speed stuff is toast, but the derailer is almost new. Would hate to replace it for no good reason.

Thanks!

A Shimano rep I used to race with told me that 10 speed levers will shift fine with 9-speed deraillers.

COMPLETELY COMPATIBLE. I have 1500 miles on a DA10 w/DA9 rear derailleur and it works better than the DA10 rear it replaced. Of course, I mangled the DA10 derailleur due to an improperly installed chain so that might be a bit unfair.
