from relayd.conf:
inet6 address-prefix:
If the requested destination is an IPv4 address,
relayd(8) will forward the connection to an IPv6
address

So I believe it should work, but I have not tried it because I do not use
ipv6.

I like application level (level 7) relay that relayd does for me,
I do not think inetd(8) is aware of http:)

And I also need TLS (https) that httpd and relayd can do.

It seems that I have 2 solutions:

1) client--relayd--(http over tcp)--my_app_server
2) client--httpd--(fastcgi over domain socket)--my_app_server

I want to serve my static files with httpd
(should be faster than my application server, and more secure thanks to
chroot),
so I will go with second approach probably.
