Your option is non-sense to me. Look at Firebird 1.0 as an improved IB 6.01
OS, with a lot of bug fixes. Read the Release Notes and you know what I'm
talking about.

In my oppinion, your long development project will be much more safer with
Firebird, even if you have to test it a little bit more (the only problem I
see will be ambigous querys, that Firebird will catch as an error. Another
improvement to your project - you are not aware of ambigous querys with IB
6).

But the question remains: How can you trust a dead open-source project as a
SQL server for a project that took you so long to develop? :-)

As simple as ZeBeDee I don't know any. If you find one, let me know.
But I'm sure that none of them will allow you to share the same TCP/IP port.
You are dealing with an Interbase lack of feature, not ZeBeDee.
