``domain_name``
A quoted string which is used as a DNS name; for example: ``my.test.domain``.
``duration``
A duration in BIND 9 can be written in three ways: as single number
representing seconds, as a string of numbers with TTL-style
time-unit suffixes, or in ISO 6801 duration format.
Allowed TTL time-unit suffixes are: "W" (week), "D" (day), "H" (hour),
"M" (minute), and "S" (second). Examples: "1W" (1 week), "3d12h"
(3 days, 12 hours).
ISO 8601 duration format consists of the letter "P", followed by an
optional series of numbers with unit suffixes "Y" (year), "M" (month),
"W" (week), and "D" (day); this may optionally be followed by the
letter "T", and another series of numbers with unit suffixes
"H" (hour), "M" (minute), and "S" (second). Examples: "P3M10D"
(3 months, 10 days), "P2WT12H" (2 weeks, 12 hours), "pt15m"
(15 minutes). For more information on ISO 8601 duration format,
see :rfc:`3339`, appendix A.
Both TTL-style and ISO 8601 duration formats are case-insensitive.
``fixedpoint``
A non-negative real number that can be specified to the nearest one-hundredth. Up to five digits can be specified before a decimal point, and up to two digits after, so the maximum value is 99999.99. Acceptable values might be further limited by the contexts in which they are used.
