Step 1: Test with a single NIC and get everything working.
Step 2: Test with multiple NICs
I do not believe you will be able to use a different IP address on the same
subnet to validate players, VAC is not designed to work that way.
You can put your server behind a router and forward the ports to a private
IP however (that does work).
DDOS is an unusual thing unless you have a specific social problem, it
should not be your main concern in running a game server.
Use your iptables or firewall and/or router to manage offending IPs.
Use the server BanID and BanIP to manage individual offending players.
You can IP Ban subnet ranges in the game server, in theory you can
completely block all of Brazil or block all of the world except Brazil.
Your firewall or iptables should also be able to block offending subnet
ranges.
From what you are describing, you are running some sort of Internet Gaming
Cafe.
If this is so, then you may have other issues, retail cdkeys are not valid
if you charge for game access (you must join the Cafe program).
Good luck!

The problem to leave the international access, is attacks DDOS. In Brazil
links is small, therefore 99% of these attacks are made of are of the
country.
Therefore the IP I publish that I go to divulge, cannot have international
access.
I have that to open the server in an IP and to legalize in another one.
Internautas in Brazil is making constant attacks in my server to only harm
me, what my server knocks down.
Ai this my problem, the CD-KEYS I obtained to legalize, to put the VAC
not.
I do not know because the VALVE did not leave parametros of configurations
for authentication in its servers, especially in the VAC.
If you it will have plus some ideia, please informs to me.

Mauricio.
I agree with Dan here, best if you disable the second NIC entirely for
testing.
If you want to run multiple game servers just put them on different ports
not different IPs.
I noticed in your first email here that you had:
- sport 27015 and does not legalize no way.
You don't want to use 27015 for -sport as that will conflict with the
normal
game port and will prevent VAC from working.
You should make sure that each instance of HLDS has it's own
unique -sport
declaration IE:
hlds.exe +port 27015 -sport 26902 -game cstrike (etc)
hlds.exe +port 27016 -sport 26903 -game cstrike (etc)
You should also run each server instance at AboveNormal priority, here is
a
working example (use a batch file to launch):
start /AboveNormal hlds.exe -noipx -game cstrike +port 27015 +maxplayers
32 -console +sys_ticrate 1000.0 -sport 26902 +map de_dust
start /AboveNormal hlds.exe -noipx -game cstrike +port 27016 +maxplayers
32 -console +sys_ticrate 1000.0 -sport 26903 +map de_dust
To get the server FPS higher then 64 you must run a program to invoke a
high-resolution timer in Server2003.

Ja I tried to leave gateway in the two connections.
Ja I tried for only in 201.x.x.6, to put when I make this does not
legalize
nor in the VALVE.
If I leave the Gateway in the IP 201.x.x.7 the VAC I do not legalize, and
the Gateway in the two IP does not legalize VAC.
If you know some command of the Route add that I can execute, favor to
order.
Thanks for HELP....

The IP 201.X.X.6 is what I place in the line of command of the HLDS
To put the IP 201.X.X.6 this blocked o international access in firewall
fisico.
Those IP's are on the same network, so both entries should have the same
default gateway entry. You can issue a "route print" from a command
prompt
to be certain. If they are not supposed to have the same default
gateway,
you can always leave the default gateway entry blank and add static
routes
with the "route add" command.
Were it me I'd shut down the 201.x.x.7 interface and see if I can get
cstrike to run in that configuration first.
