Apache 2.0 should be able to do multihoming with IPv6.

You need to buy an IOS update, yes.  But that's the same as with all your
machines - if their operating system is too old for IPv6, you need a more 
recent version.

Do IPSEC on a NetBSD or Linux/Usagi box.

Show them that users exist.  Right now, there are only few users, and thus
the developers are not very much interested.

Tell them you're going to purchase <someotherdatabase> if they don't
support IPv6 soon.  Maybe that will help.

There are some other issues as well - like firewall vendors that have
no interest in IPv6, print server vendors, and so on.

The main problem is that one half claims "nobody is using this, so we do
not have to support IPv6" and the other half claims "because it is so badly
supported, we can't use IPv6".  Chicken and Egg problem.
