Huh?!?

Why is your telnet using port 23 when you explicitly tell it to use 
port 80? All the telnets I know take the port number as the second 
argument (in the absense of any flags/options).

You wouldn't happen to run Linux, would you? (Although I doubt even 
Linux would screw up this badly.)

First you make the apache listen on one or more address/port combos. 
This is basic TCP stuff: if this part doesn't work, you're unreachable. 
When this DOES work the virtual hosts come into play. But you can 
easily see this because when you're at this stage you should see an 
HTML page, although maybe not the one you intended.

But since you still have trouble with the TCP stuff, changing the 
vitual host settings is meaningless at this point, so you should keep 
them the way they should be to support your existing IPv4 sites.

BTW, this is what I used to have on my FreeBSD box:

[...]
Listen 83.149.65.1:80
Listen [3ffe:2500:310:2::1]:80
[...]
<VirtualHost 83.149.65.1 [3ffe:2500:310:2::1]>
[...]

But I changed this, it looks much cleaner now:

[...]
Listen 80
[...]
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.bgpexpert.com
ServerAlias bgpexpert.com ipv6.bgpexpert.com ipv4.bgpexpert.com
[...]
