Just tried out this plugin.
Idea for a maintenance plugin is great, although it lacks 1 crucial option: allowing site admin to see the sites.
It can be done manually with rewrite rules (redirect visitors to maintenance page + exception allowing to see the site for visitor coming from certain IP), but it needs some rewrite knowledge, preparing special page, and change the IP accordingly.
I'm not sure, but if PHP allows executing files only for a declared remote host, then it would be awesome to have the possibility to enter own (current) IP address and have the possibility to access page, while other visitors would see "maintenance page".
ps. if IP would be somehow changed during the process, it should be written in XML file, not base on cookies or something like this.
