If I know correctly, Yaws doesn't have IPv6 support at all. Though
id'd be better to ask upstream developers at
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/erlyaws-list

Yes, IPv6 is enabled in Erlang.

No, Yaws doesn't have IPv6 support.

Please, ask ejabberd maintainer or upstream developers.

AFAIK, IPv6 sockets in Erlang are very similar to IPv4. They differ
only by inet6 option (and different length of IP tuple).
