DHCP & DNS IPv6 dual stack

I'm not sure if this should be posted in the AD forums but I thought I'd try here first

we have a simple single forest, single domain AD environment

2x DCs with AD integrated DNS - 2008 R2 OS / forest / domain functional levels

2x Windows DHCP servers

we're running entirely on IPv4 but would like to slowly start introducing IPv6 endpoints to do some testing, we have our own global IPv6 range available

what I can't seem to find anywhere is that in order to setup an IPv6 DHCP scope and in order for IPv6 AAAA & PRT records to register in DNS (either dynamically or statically), do the DHCP servers need to have a valid IPv6 IP on their NICs?

do the DCs (which have the DNS roles on them) also need to have valid IPv6 IPs on their NICs?

we have not disabled IPv6 anywhere and on the servers above they're just set to obtain an automatic IP so they're getting the local address starting with fe80

note that the IPv4 IPs would still need to remain on the DHCP and DNS servers as we will continue to have a mix of IPv4 only, IPv6 only and dual stacked IPv4 / IPv6 systems in the environment so my intention is not to replace IPv4 with IPv6

it's unclear if IPv6 IPs are required on the server-side in order for DNS registration and resolution as well as DHCP IPv6 address leasing to happen or would there be some kind of address translation happening here?
