Please read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record or other better
articles where srv is explained before you are writing sensless stuff.

Actually SRV records could solve that, if implemented properly. But,
hey... I am happy for anyway for players to re-find the server after an IP
address change. We'll have to just wait and see how well the intended
scheme actually works in practice.

DNS-based favorites wouldn't work if you moved ports in addition to hosts.
I have accounts on all of my servers but I don't bother to set up domain
names because that's a waste of time. It would be far easier to provide
steam://connectid links.

To provide the same performance for gameserver searching, there are need no
change on masterserver side. The masterserver can provide only ip and ports
as before. To tell the client, that the server has a dns, an entry with a
public cvar like publicdns, is enough. Only favourites and connect should

Someone made an improvment sugestion years ago about the srv entry in dns
for a serverport. So we don't need valves proprietary protocol if they are
realizing that there are existing technologies we can use. The only change
is on clientside to save DNS in favourites and lookup for a srv record for
I also use subdomains for each IP address I have at the moment.
This method is not close to being perfect for client use. Its only good for
me as server own as I don't need to remember IP address when connecting to
server.
Most of my clients use favourites tab or history tab. But Steam browser

I'd have preferred a DNS solution that uses subdomains to address the
specific servers on an IP.

Bobby, Steam server browser doesn't support domain names. When you manually add
a domain like: sv1.domain.com:27015<http://sv1.domain.com:27015>, it will
resolve into IP e.g. 127.0.0.1:27015<http://127.0.0.1:27015> and then save i

I agree with Will.
Domain doesn't solve the port move problem. What if you move your gameserver
instance to another machine but the port is already in use?
Also its a lot simpler to just advertise game server id. Don't nee
