You might be able to subnet your ip6 allocation and
route it to the lo
interface.
I managed to do this by accident once, but not sure how well it'd work.
Something like "ip -6 ro add 2001::xxx/64 dev lo" might work. Although
last time I managed it it was with v4 and quagga.
That won't actually let apache listen on them all though, will it?
Or if apache listens on *:80 will it catch that?
