  1. Apache supports multiple Listen options:

    Listen 192.170.2.1:80
Listen 192.170.2.5:8000

    IPv6 addresses must be surrounded in square brackets, as in the following example:

    Listen [2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea]:80

  2. What l1x said, plus, this is how you do both in a vhost:

    <VirtualHost 74.208.184.120:80 [2001:470:c083:1::1]:80>

    Preferably with your IPs instead of mine :)

  3. When I tried to use two separate Listen directives on a dual-stack host Apache refused to start, with an error like something had already bound on port 80. Surely this is a bug, but I had success by using this:

    Listen          "*:80"
