This has been a known issue for quite sometime. Myself along with other mailing list members have brought it up in the past. The past week it seems to of gotten a lot worse. Today alone i've had to fix the problem on two separate occasions.
*The details:* I have a dedicated server with 4 IP address' assigned to it. Each server instance I run has it's own unique IP Address with the default port for each instance (27015) Now randomly the server will lose it's assigned IP address and reassign itself one of the other IP's that are available. The problem with this is the moment it occurs the server drops from the master server list. It's no longer visible on the internet. When type "status" in the console this is what I get, i've bolded/underlined the problem area: version : 1.2.3.3/22 5079 secure *udp/ip : 142.54.178.234:27015 (public ip: 142.54.178.238)* account : logged in map : cp_dustbowl at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z --------------------Another--------------------- version : 1.2.3.3/22 5079 secure *udp/ip : 142.54.178.237:27015 (public ip: 142.54.178.238)* account : logged in map : plr_hightower at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z I just finished fixing 4 servers on the same box with this bug/issue. It's starting to become quite annoying having servers drop off the master server list and require a server restart to fix. I get servers going from full to empty when this happens and it requires my intervention to fix. Server details: :~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-server #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 22:02:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux :~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick I brought this issue up August 14 2012: http://www.mail-archive.com/hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com/msg68496.html and I know someone else has (just cant find the post).
