Sure you can. By using V6ONLY. Thats the point of the option. It is
just you must set it via setsocopt.
With V6ONLY you should be able to bind 0.0.0.0, 23 and bind ::,23 one
using AF_INET and the other AF_INET6.
Any IPv4 addreses entering the system will not be permitted to reach any
AF_INET6 socket.
This permits the shared port space model.

That is correct because its not the default.
