Adding a server by DNS-name instead of IP is just for your convenience.

A DNS-name is just some entry in a DNS database that resolves to an IP-address. It does not even have to be the same name as the hostname of the machine having the IP-address. So, the two IP addresses in the A and the AAAA record of a specific DNS-name do *not* have to be configured on the same physical machine. Remember that you can have one DNS-name with multiple A-records pointing to different machines as well. Apart from that, IPv4 and IPv6 are different networks, with different routes and different routing issues. So, even if they machine is the same, the internet connection is not. Therefore, the pool system treats each IP address as a different time server and never assumes two to be the same.
