zone. Setting a range here and in ``ALLOW-DNSUPDATE-FROM`` enables updates
from either address range.
+The semantics are that first a dynamic update has to be allowed either
+by the global :ref:`setting-allow-dnsupdate-from` setting, or by a per-zone
+``ALLOW-DNSUPDATE-FROM`` metadata setting.
+
+Secondly, if a zone has a ``TSIG-ALLOW-DNSUPDATE`` metadata setting, that
+must match too.
+
+So to only allow dynamic DNS updates to a zone based on TSIG key, and
+regardless of IP address, set :ref:`setting-allow-dnsupdate-from` to empty, set
+``ALLOW-DNSUPDATE-FROM`` to "0.0.0.0/0" and "::/0" and set the
+``TSIG-ALLOW-DNSUPDATE`` to the proper key name.
