[wp-hackers] Network Activate and rewrite rules

[Shawn Parker]

You can also inspect the rules on being pulled from the DB and force a rebuild when they're not present. Use the 'transient_rewrite_rules' filter to inspect the rules after they're pulled from the db. If your rule isn't there you can return a null value and it'll force the rules to rebuild. Its a little heavy, yes, but if the site breaks badly without those rules its a good backup plan to have in place.
