sorry if this has been answered already but i couldn't find the 'solution' with lots of work, now finally i have.
 
running 'sshd -6' forces sshd NOT to connect to ipv4 sockets,
 
man page:
    -6      Forces sshd to use IPv6 addresses only.
 
i think in an old version of sshd -6 meant 'enable ipv6 support'
 
many system start-up scripts seem to force this '-6' option, which was required to listen on ipv6.  I removed the option on my system, and now the daemon listens on ipv6 without the option, and connects 100% to ipv6 and ipv4 ports.
