     9  Don't use this feature. It was added for a very specific situation at Stack Overflow.
    10  
    11  `IMPORT_TRANSFORM` adds to the domain all the records from another
    12  domain, after making certain transformations and resetting the TTL.
    13  
    14  Example:
    15  
    16  Suppose foo.com is a regular domain.  bar.com is a regular domain,
    17  but certain records should be the same as foo.com with these
    18  exceptions: "bar.com" is added to the name, the TTL is changed to
    19  300, if the IP address is between 1.2.3.10 and 1.2.3.20 then rewrite
    20  the IP address to be based on 123.123.123.100 (i.e. .113 or .114).
    21  
    22  You wouldn't want to maintain bar.com manually, would you?  It would
    23  be very error prone. Therefore instead you maintain foo.com and
    24  let `IMPORT_TRANSFORM` automatically generate bar.com.

    29  foo.com:
    30      one.foo.com.    IN A 1.2.3.1
    31      two.foo.com.    IN A 1.2.3.2
    32      three.foo.com.  IN A 1.2.3.13
    33      four.foo.com.   IN A 1.2.3.14
    34  
    35  bar.com:
    36      www.bar.com.    IN 123.123.123.123
    37      one.foo.com.bar.com.    IN A 1.2.3.1
    38      two.foo.com.bar.com.    IN A 1.2.3.2
    39      three.foo.com.bar.com.  IN A 123.123.123.113
    40      four.foo.com.bar.com.   IN A 123.123.123.114

    45  Here's how you'd implement this in DNSControl:
    46  
    47  {% include startExample.html %}
    48  {% highlight js %}
    49  
    50  var TRANSFORM_INT = [
    51      // RANGE_START, RANGE_END, NEW_BASE
    52      { low: "1.2.3.10", high: "1.2.3.20", newBase: "123.123.123.100" },  //   .10 to .20 rewritten as 123.123.123.100+IP
    53      { low: "2.4.6.80", high: "2.4.6.90", newBase: "123.123.123.200" },  //   Another rule, just to show that you can have many.
    54  ]
    55  
    56  D("foo.com", .... ,
    57    A("one","1.2.3.1")
    58    A("two","1.2.3.2")
    59    A("three","1.2.3.13")
    60    A("four","1.2.3.14")
    61  );
    62  
    63  D("bar.com", .... ,
    64    A("www","123.123.123.123")
    65    IMPORT_TRANSFORM(TRANSFORM_INT, 'foo.com', 300),
    66  );
    67  
    68  {%endhighlight%}
    69  {% include endExample.html %}
    70  
    71  Transform rules are: RANGE_START, RANGE_END, NEW_BASE.  NEW_BASE may be:
    72  
    73  * An IP address.  Rebase the IP address on this IP address. Extract the host part of the /24 and add it to the "new base" address.
    74  * A list of IP addresses. For each A record, inject an A record for each item in the list: `newBase: ['1.2.3.100', '2.4.6.8.100']` would produce 2 records for each A record.
