T. I believe it's a technical limitation that has no solution. The best you can hope for is to separate out the port addresses each server uses by a fixed number. 20715, 20735, 20755, 20775 etc. Just don't make that number "5" since I seem to remember the default stv port is 20720. It's not such a huge ask to get your community to remember ports. You can social engineer them to remember by adding the port to the motd, having "two-o-seven 55" nights. What I do mind is the lack of DNS resolution in the Steam Community. If you post a game address that depends on DNS no-one will be able to join the event by clicking the link. Must be IP only to generate a link.

Lookups are done at connect time or adding-to-favourites time, completely by the client. There's no official or unofficial way to do HTTP-style vhosting as far as I am aware.
