Depending on what you plan to do with the matched string later, you
may want to limit it to 256 characters or incorporate some more
checks, like:

r"^zones/(?P<domain>(?:[A-Za-z-]{1,63}\.){0,4}(?:[A-Za-z-]{1,63}))"

Not if used in a character class:

>>> re.match("[.]", ".")
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb72fe330>
>>> re.match("[.]", "1")
