what if your server is dual stack? can you also add the ipv4
address? like below:

you may create as many ipv6 web servers as you want because ipv6
addresses aren't limited but what if the web server (ipv4) with virtual
hosting (around 8 sites) has existed before ipv6 existed (such as ours)?
i tried the above configuration (apache 1.3.14), as what's written on
README.v6, but not all sites could be browsable so i disabled ipv6 for
the meantime. :)
