FreeBSD 9.3, Apache 2.4 and IPv6 Issue. - MORE Progress Made

[martin at marketbridge.com]

So, it's not an IPv6 issue. It's like Apache is not recognizing anything
that is not an IP address or valid FQDN in the Listen directive.  For
example, I tried:

Listen asdjfljasdfljsljdfljsadjlljsdf:80

And I get the same error.  I tried:

Listen 2001:470:b008::2
Listen [2001:470:b008::2]80

Is not anyone else having this issue?

I can reverse DNS resolve the address 2001:470:b008::2 locally without a
problem.
