Create sites network

When you select "master" site, this site will get master key used as authentication and verification method across all sites. This key must be copied to all slave sites so they can listen communication from master.
When list of sites on master is updated, master send this information to slave sites automatically.
"Slave" site
Other sites in network must be all "slave" sites. Slave site does not hold information about other sites in network (in database), but it keeps list up-to-date by checking regularly info in master.
Each slave site has api key that identifies slave site in sites network and also, besides master key, authenticate on master site.
