The command outer:local:dns is a pattern referring to multiple groups in the inventory.
Coupling this pattern with --limit means that the playbook will be executed for the group outer, the group local and the group dns.

For more information about ansible pattern, see this documentation.

I guess that you could just google it. The value that is passed to --limit is the hostname(s) or host group(s) that an Ansible playbook will be applied to. You can read more about the pattern syntax here.
