This is some info I had a while ago, never got to try it: "We released the new HldsUpdateTool today, which has the capability to let people suggest preferred content servers.
To use it, you need to create a file in the same directory as the tool called Steam.cfg (the S has to be uppercase on Linux), and put the following line in it: PreferredContentServerIDs = "x y z etc" (again case is important) Where x y and z are the IDs of the CSes they'd like to go to first. EG computergames.ro would put "1 31". You can list as many as you want." Note: Not all content servers provide both HL1 and HL2 content. Hope that helps.
