As you have a dynamic IPv4 address your 6to4 address is also dynamic.

9089:e94a translates to your public IPv4 address.

Just use a "Listen 80" and a "NameVirtualHost *"

Eek, a c0a8 = 192.168/16, 6to4 should not use a RFC1918 address IMHO.

The 2002:9089:e94a::/48 address is the correct one indeed.
But it will change when you have a dynamic IPv4 endpoint.
