Apache Web Server changes the syntax for IPv6 connections to

I think this is mandated by one or the other RFCs, it's not just an
Apache thing.
I'd suggest that your question actually has two parts:
i) If a server name only resolves to an IP6 address, does fcl-db
honour it?
ii) If a server is specified by IP6 address ditto.
I've written something that was specifically IP6-aware but can't
remember whether I investigated the behaviour of the backend servers
(PostgreSQL and Firebird) which were assumed to be local (RFC 1918
addresses). I do remember vaguely that there were issues with the OS or
libraries (Linux etc. in this case) mapping IP4 onto part of the IP6
range when both were in use.
