Simple Zone file question

Here's a quicky, can someone tell me the difference b/t refresh, expire,
and minimum in a zone file.  Which one controls how long that zone file
is cached on a DNS server???   Basically my ISP will be changing my IP
soon, and I would like to reduce the possible problems with name servers
that will cache my old IP.   If I understand correctly, one of the above
settings controls how long the zone file is cached on a server.  If so
which one?

Thanks,

Aaron
