No need to apologize Satoru. I was simply surprised that you were using
dynamic IP.
Your router isn't responding in a timely fashion when the server
requests an IP address. Thus the server has no IPv6 address in the
stack when Apache loads, which causes your problem. It loads later,
manually, because the router has responded, very late, with an address
assignment, but after Apache2 needs it.
The proper fix is to use a static IP address.
