Client sided demo's can have the console output of that client, if client did a "status" or w/e command that showed output about the server in the console, it will be shown during replay.
Advertizements in chat also help, if you want to identify that the server was yours, just advertise every 1-2 minutes the forums, where to find admins, etc. those will be shown as well during replay of the demo. Guess that are the 2 venues to seek such from inside the demo. On default, a client records all that the client does. With stats you might prove that that particular client was on the server on that particular time, with a given name. Not looked lately much into specifics, and not known to L4D(2), never been my "game". If the source of the demo is questionable, I read couple months ago that the demo's are alterable to show different steam-ID's. Information stored in a demo might be artificially altered therefore. If such is questionable and there problems around that, its really up to judgement of admins to let it be admissible. Its been the reason some servers don't use one of the banlists out there for ppl that cheat/hack or w/e, the list was compromised by such altered demo's (or not, not much proof either way about such as it seems). All this is highly debatable, and server owners should really make up their own mind. Again, with stats on a server, and then comparing players to be there at such time with the other players shown in the status commands, one can link it up. If it doesn't match.... Difficult subject. Consider STV automatic recording etc if you want to be sure about demo's recorded, and let ppl report date and time of it, so one can pull the demo and watch it. hope this helps, bit more information for the intention or the problem would have been easier and a shorter answer.

I have a question about clientside demos that and don't know where else to ask... is there a way to retrieve the server ip from a clientside demo? This particular demo is for L4D2...
