I haven't tried it, but I'm not sure how well it will work. I've sniffed
the traffic thats flowing when updating steam before, and it seems to
contact a master (authentication?) server in the US which then says use
this content server. I'm not sure if the master server cares that you
can't contact the server. I would hope the client would go, can';t get to
that server, give me another.. but it's something worth playing with!

I can't say I'm having stellar successes right now. Steam seems
to contact a master server (I've seen Valve Nos. 1, 2, 3, and
14) and uses that for a content server as well. If I disconnect
my Internet connection, it tries a combination of those three
and then says "Steam cannot connect blah blah blah".
I think _VALVE_ should do something to help us out here by
allowing to select a specific server, or at least specify our
(client) region, as this seems to be something that's going to
be an ugly hack, if it even works.
