To any server admins running either Half-Life 1 based game servers or Half-Life 2 based game servers, you may want to take notice of a few upcoming changes in store for querying the master servers. This comes courtesy of Alfred Reynolds via the HLDS mailing list.
We are doing some network re-arrangements and the external master servers for Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2 games are moving to a new location. You should now use:
Half-Life 1 games (CS 1.6, HLDM, DoD, etc):
hl1master.steampowered.com:27010
Half-Life 2 games (CS:S, DoD:S, HL2DM, etc) and 3rd party games (The Ship, Dark Messiah):
hl2master.steampowered.com:27011
We expect to move the location of the master servers on a more regular basis going forward so it is important that you update any software requesting details from these servers to uses these DNS entries to track the correct endpoints to use (and have them check that the entry has not changed on a daily basis).
The existing server on 207.173.177.11 will cease answering requests at the end of this month.
Got that? Good!
