This is almost exactly what I need too.
I want to only allow external images from 8-10 image hosts. Many hosts are troubled with rules, they are slow etc. so I want users to only be able to use the hosts I trust and whitelist. Besides, I don't want my users to hotlink and steal images (bandwidth!) from here and there (some users tend to hotlink). Using not whitelisted URLs should replace the image with a text like "This image host not allowed...." or similar.
I have a custom made plugin that does exactly this, but it conflicts with your great plugin.
I think we will see an increasing amount of external image hosts, with the possibility many of them are bad or unwanted from specific forums (they have strange rules, slow speeds, bad scripts altering images, they delete images too soon, they ban domains etc.). We need to control what hosts our users use! Please add such a feature and The Image resizer will be complete
At first hand it might seem a bit strange to ask for such a feature when the image resizer is about handling images only. You might say another plugin should do this trick. But your plugin is essential in how images are handled all around and should in my humble opinion also have the little feature letting us do the above explained

Would be great if possible.
