As far as I know, ISC DHCP cannot handle both IPv4 and IPv6 using the
same dhcpd process. You need two instances of the process. See this
section from the dhcpd man page:

 The server either operates as a DHCPv6 server or a DHCP server, but not
 both  at  the same time. To run as a DHCPv6 server, use the -6 flag. To
 run as a DHCP server, use the -4 flag. If neither is used, the  default
 is to run as a DHCPv6 server.
