Comment:

 We had the same or very similar problem with our multisite-installation
 that runs behind a apache rewrite rule. We ended up overwriting the
 {{{$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ]}}} to work around it. See
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/err_too_many_redirects-nur-unter-wp-
 adminnetwork for a complete description of the problem and solution.

 I thing the best way to solve this in general ist, not to use variables
 like HTTP_HOST at all in the core but to base all core-feature on a
 variable like DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE. Or if this is multisite-specific, then
 something similar that works for every site. It could also be a simple
 default inside wp-config with domain_current_site defaulting to http_host.
 This way it is only one place to fix the redirecting-problem. – Like this:
 {{{define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '$_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ]');}}}
