BIND 9 on SuSE and IPv6 Addresses

I was migrating a bind9 setup from Debian to SuSE and couldn't get the transfers to work. To make a long story short I had to put ipv6 addresses in my allow-transfer entry, e.g.:

allow-transfer {
    ::ffff:172.16.59.5; 172.16.59.5;
};

I have no idea whether the second ipv4 entry is really necessary but I don't want to be burned.

A probably-preferable alternate solution is to comment out the line:

listen-on-v6 { any; };

and leave the allow-transfer the way it was (ipv4-style).
