+ *
+ * To enable the trusted host mechanism, you enable your allowable hosts
+ * in $settings['trusted_host_patterns']. This should be an array of regular
+ * expression paterns, without delimiters, representing the hosts you would like
+ * to allow.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ * @code

+ *   '^www\.example\.com$',
+ * );
+ * @endcode
+ * will allow the site to only run from www.example.com.
+ *
+ * If you are running multisite, or if you are running your site from
+ * different domain names (eg, you don't redirect http://www.example.com to
+ * http://example.com), you should specify all of the host patterns that are
+ * allowed by your site.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ * @code
+ * $settings['trusted_host_patterns'] = array(
+ *   '^example\.com$',
+ *   '^.+\.example\.com$',
+ *   '^example\.org',
+ *   '^.+\.example\.org',

+ * @endcode
+ * will allow the site to run off of all variants of example.com and
+ * example.org, with all subdomains included.
