| Per-octet patterns (1, 2, 3, or 4 specify the octet; d, h or 0 specify decimal, hexidecimal, or 0-padded decimal) | ||
| First octet, decimal | %1d | 192 |
| Third octet, 0-padded | %30 | 023 |

%i and %r also allow explicitly defining the separator; eg %.i
or %_r. '.', '-', and '_' are the only characters
supported since DNS names may not contain most other
non-alphanumerics.
