v6.

Of course you need this. OpenBSD and some other BSD's, per default,
don't listen on the v4 address (using ::) when listening on an
IPv6 address. This is a good thing. As such you will need to tell apache
also to listen on the 'any' address for IPv4 like above.

On silly systems like Linux, listening on IPv6 'any' (::) will
automatically listen on IPv4 'any', but incoming connections will have
an IPv6 socket, with an address of ::a.b.c.d or was it ::ffff:a.b.c.d,
although it looks handy for quick program conversion from IPv4 to IPv6
(just replace the AF's) this is of course still very annoying as you
can't use those addresses in logging programs, who suddenly need to
understand that some IPv6 addresses are actually still IPv4 etc.
Fortunately there you can also turn it off using net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1

On *BSD you will have to code properly, using separate IPv4 + IPv6
sockets and thus listen for both.
