We don't store the IP's in files since they are too static and get out of date too easily. We would be pushing out updates a lot more often for no good reason if we did it that way.
The servers are not recorded in DNS since that is generally too slow to update. Steam uses its own directory service, but this isn't publically accessible. The majority of traffic goes through a bunch of connection end point servers. These are distributed all over the internet hosted by various providers. So you can't even query an AS number and get all of our networks. It might get you some of the way though.

I can't just open ports, I need destination addresses with it. Can we (as suggested) grep out some files to get the addresses from? Another question comes to mind. With the announcement of the new network, will that change anything in how steam logs on and how friends signs in etc? Will that remain the same?

We are constantly changing the IP addresses of our services as we grow. As someone who helps maintain our firewall rules, I appreciate what you are trying to do, but it is a lot of work to keep up with all the changes. More so for you since there is no DNS to query or registry to look up that will tell you what you need to know.

I want to explicitly open them in a firewall, no need for whitelisting the content servers. I found a few lists online but they either seem incomplete or out of date.
