As I responded to your other message, I am not sure if others have tried to include multiple groups, but it has been requested.
Did you read the dedicatedserver_readme.txt that came with the latest update? * Dedicated servers by default participate in matchmaking. Matchmaking system allows players to get together in a lobby and then start a game on a dedicated server together. To make your Left 4 Dead dedicated server easily accessible to your community you would create a Steam group and get its group id on Steam community group admin page (say "444"). Set "sv_steamgroup 444" to make all members of your Steam group have access to the server from their main menu. You can also set "sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1" which will require that at least one player from your Steam group has to join the server before public people will be able to join via matchmaking.
