By default, apache is going to open an IPv6 socket, so every connection,
even IPv4, will use an IPv6 socket with a mapped address:
# netstat -anp | grep apache
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 27795/apache2
tcp6 0 0 ::ffff:10.0.0.1:80 ::ffff:10.0.0.2:35271 ESTABLISHED27813/apache2
I'm guessing that 17013 is your 16384 plus a few in time-wait, right?
There's a way to change it to be IPv4-only in the conf file from what I remember.
