You mean creating the Steam.cfg and putting line PreferredContentServerIDs = "123 150 229" into it method? Its only preference, might not always work.

That's an incredibly restrictive firewall for a datacenter... from my experience most datacenters are able to isolate specific patterns or types of data and be very specific about their blocks rather than just doing a blanket blocking.

Secondly, I seem to remember a way of manually setting what server the update actually pulled from was posted on this mailing list. Unfortunately, I also do not remember and can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember where it was that you could edit a file to manually put in what server you wanted to pull from?

    @kirby "Get a new datacenter. " Geez, man. Thanks. That was the
    kind of answer I was looking for. ¬¬

    @Mart: Did a quick search and didn't find anything about it. Do
    you remember any detail that might help searching for it through
    the list?

    @Jevgenjj: If only it had a list of IPs... but most of them are
    just #numbers which reverse to nothing concrete. So no luck there.
    Thanks for sharing, though.

        Not sure, but whitelisting all their content servers might help:
