 Currently WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS is defined as a constant. It would be great
 if this is a wordpress option (or something equivalent) so you can change
 it at runtime. If you have a multisite installation and need to add
 domains to the whitelist you must reload the whole installation to enable
 them. Writing a simple plugin for this is also not possible since
 constants can not be redefined.

 My suggestion:
 1) Store a site_option for mutlisites. This should contain a general
 whitelist for all blogs
 2) Store a option per blog to contain additional whitelists for this
 single blog
 3) Make it configurable via the admin interface (single textbox to enter
 the domains)
 4) In the block_request function
 (https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/class-
 http.php#L507) the 2 options should be merged and handled like the
 constant

 This way you could manage the whitelist at runtime.

 What do you think about this?

 Chris
