The Apache2 server responds to IPv6, when I query it from locally, using http://[::1], using Safari. On the other hand when I try accessing the server, from my Intel machine, using the IPv6 address specifed by the en0 interface I can't connect:

http://[fe80::230:65ff:fed6:b164]

Is your Intel machine on the same broadcast domain as your apache2 server?


The fe80:: address is a link-local (automatically configured) address. Think of it like the 169.254.0.0/16 range used for DHCP autoconfiguration.

169.254.0.0/16 is actually IPv4LL and has nothing to do with DHCP except that Macs and PCs tend to fall back on IPv4LL if they fail to get a DHCP address.
