Is this what you run Apache on?

In that case you may want to check if your binary supports IPv6. (Well, 
you may want to check this regardless of the OS you use...)

Not a problem: just use a host/domain name ServerName that only has an 
AAAA record in the DNS. In theory, people can then still connect by 
looking up your A record, connect over IPv4 and list the host/domain in 
question in the host: line, but in practice people don't really do this 
  :-)  and you only get people on your site who are able to connect to 
the IPv6 address.
