The master server protocol isn't very forgiving and srcds isn't trying 
hard either. Every 5 minutes server will send one packet to each of two 
master servers currently selected, if it replies with a challenge 
another packet is sent to register with it. There are no 
retransmissions, if one of the 3 packets required to complete 
registration is lost ... thats it, next try in 5 min ... and there seems 
to be a great deal of packet loss.
