Review Comment:
   I was just looking over the existing configuration in reference.conf and it 
looks like we are pretty consistent about requiring the native port when it 
comes to specifying endpoints (e.g. `basic.contact-points` mandates this 
through `ContactPoints.extract`).
   
   I think it may just be better to always require the port to be consistent 
with `basic.contact-points`, and it would also simplify the code a little bit.

   This is a bit of a weird idiosyncrasy of the parser, but like you said, it's

Review Comment:
   One thing I just realized is that since this is done on the construction of 
the address translator, it means that we will resolve an IP address from the 
host name at instantiation;   Alternatively `FixedHostNameAddressTranslator` 
resolves in `InetSocketAddress.translate(address)` which means it will be 
resolved on control connection initialization and refreshing the node list.
   
   Both can be problematic if we ever expect DNS changes to point to a new IP.  
  One might have to bounce their app to pick up the new IP(s) from the DNS 
change if suddenly the existing IP you were using no longer points to your 
service.  In Kubernetes, depending on your service/loadbalancer implementation, 
I suppose its possible the underlying IP may change possibly, right?    I think 
generally it will be stable/static, but may vary depending on implementation.
   
   The driver has a configuration `advanced.resolve-contact-points` that allows 
one to change the behavior such that contact points aren't initially resolved, 
rather they get resolved every time we attempt to create a new connection which 
works resilient to IP changes.
   
   I think it could be useful to utilize this configuration in such a way:
   
   1. defer parsing into `InetSocketAddress` in `translate` itself, much like 
`FixedHostNameAddressTranslator` does, store the `String` as is in 
`SubnetAddress`.
   2. Use `ContactPoints.extract(String, boolean)` in `translate` .   For 
`resolve`, pull that value from `advanced.resolve-contact-points`.   (we could 
consider doing the same for `FixedHostNameAddressTranslator`, but don't need to 
solve on the PR).
   
   This would allow the DNS resolution to always happen whenever a connection 
is created.  Additionally, I believe the `DefaultEndPoint` implementations will 
continue to be considered equal if the underlying IPs change, which would be 
nice I suppose.
   
   Thoughts?

Review Comment:
   Fantastic, thanks for writing up docs on this!

+### Fixed proxy hostname
+
+If your client applications access Cassandra through some kind of proxy (eg. 
with AWS PrivateLink when all Cassandra
+nodes are exposed via one hostname pointing to AWS Endpoint), you can 
configure driver with
+`FixedHostNameAddressTranslator` to always translate all node addresses to 
that same proxy hostname, no matter what IP
+address a node has but still using its native transport port.
+
+To use it, specify the following in the [configuration](../configuration):
+
+```
+datastax-java-driver.advanced.address-translator.class = 
FixedHostNameAddressTranslator
+advertised-hostname = proxyhostname
+```
+
+### Fixed proxy hostname per subnet
+
+When running Cassandra in a private network and accessing it from outside of 
that private network via some kind of
+proxy, we have an option to use `FixedHostNameAddressTranslator`. But for 
multi-datacenter Cassandra deployments, we
+want to have more control over routing queries to a specific datacenter (eg. 
for optimizing latencies), which requires
+setting up a separate proxy per datacenter.
+
+Normally, each Cassandra datacenter nodes are deployed to a separate subnet to 
support internode communications in the
+cluster and avoid IP addresses collisions. So when Cassandra broadcasts its 
nodes IP addresses, we can determine which
+datacenter that node belongs to by checking its IP address against the given 
datacenter subnet.
+
+For such scenarios you can use `SubnetAddressTranslator` to translate node IPs 
to the datacenter proxy address
+associated with it. 
+
+To use it, specify the following in the [configuration](../configuration):
+```
+datastax-java-driver.advanced.address-translator {
+  class = SubnetAddressTranslator
+  subnet-addresses {
+    "100.64.0.0/15" = "cassandra.datacenter1.com:9042"
+    "100.66.0.0/15" = "cassandra.datacenter2.com"  # port defaults to 9042 if 
not specified
+    # IPv6 example:
+    # "::ffff:6440:0/111" = "cassandra.datacenter1.com:9042"
+    # "::ffff:6442:0/111" = "cassandra.datacenter2.com"  # port defaults to 
9042 if not specified
+  }
+  # Optional. When configured, addresses not matching the configured subnets 
are translated to it. Port defaults to 9042 if not specified.
+  default-address = "cassandra.datacenter1.com:9042"
+}
+```
+
+Such setup is common for running Cassandra on Kubernetes with 
[k8ssandra](https://docs.k8ssandra.io/).

Review Comment:
   It would be good to also note that the optional IPAddress dependency must be 
explicitly declared in your project to use this translator.
