IPv6 subnets in AD Sites and Services?

If I have 2 domain controllers in 2 different sites and both have IPv6 checked in TCP stack, do I need to define the dynamic IP address in AD Sites and Services?

I had an issue with SYSVOL GPO replication where one of the domain controllers was using the IPv6 address of the other domain controller to access its SYSVOL, but the address was not defined in AD Sites and Services.  I unchecked and did some other things that resolved the issue... but I need to know best practice for this please. thank you.

oh interesting so the image ^^ . . . you don't think that is why I was having SYSVOL replication issues? the IPv6?

honestly, I am not sure what ultimately fixed it.. I did two things ...

1. Unchecked IPv6 on both DCs / repadmin / rebooted
2. Moved both the DC and the Subnet (that was in a second site) to the Default-Name-First-Site ...Then moved the 2nd DC and Subnet back to the second AD Site
do you think #1 had nothing to do with the repair of the DFSR SYSVOL replication?  Those were the only things I changed.

@Shaun
Could IPv6 have been an issue in your eyes - as the subnet was not setup in Sites and Services?
