For IPv4 addresses only, use mdns4. To resolve both use mdns. Keep in mind that mdns will be slower if there are no IPv6 addresses published via mDNS on the network.

You have to modify your name service switch look up file to enable
multicast DNS lookups.  If you wish to resolve only IPv6 addresses
use mdns6.  For IPv4 addresses only, use mdns4.  To resolve both
use mdns.  Keep in mind that mdns will be slower if there are no
IPv6 addresses published via mDNS on the network.  There are also
minimal (mdns?_minimal) libraries which only lookup .local hosts
and 169.254.x.x addresses.
Add the appropriate mdns into the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
before resolve and dns. An example line looks like:
hosts: mymachines mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns
If you want to perform mDNS lookups for domains other than the ones
ending in .local, add them to /etc/mdns.allow.
