You don't need apache 2 to make it ready for IPv6, I'm running an apache 1.3 compiled with IPv6-support. > Can I expect IPv6-capable clients to, if an IPv6 connection attempt is > refused, retry using IPv4?

Normally first IPv6 is tried if both client and server support it, if the server refuses for some reason than ipv4 is tried.(in the application i tested) > Any input is much appreciated, and if you have experience with setting > up PHP 4 (any version, really) with Apache 2 betas, please get in > touch with me as soon as possible.
