In the file /etc/dirsrv/slapd-yourinstancename/dse.ldif - the attribute 
nsslapd-localhost - which hostname is this?

If you shutdown the directory server, edit dse.ldif - add the attribute
nsslapd-listenhost: <IPv4 ip address here>
then start up the directory server - does it then listen for IPv4 requests?
