Having a fallback servername of 127.0.0.1 is broken, I realise even
in IPv4 it's not a globally reachable address, but in IPv6 it's
just plain confusing and leads to a lot (well o.k. 3 ever) of reports
that Apache isnt working for someone in IPv6.

O.k., so that's a bit cheeky. But would "localhost" be o.k ? Or
"unconfigured". Or make it a hard error, and have no fallback.
