Black I mean a system for in game that can't be abused, or hacked. I know there is DNS. It would be much easier to run servers off a steamID, but they are dynamic for servers, at least I thought.

Another problem with DNS names is how to report to the master server that this is the unique name?

Another issue is that DNS names aren't port identified, so if you move server from 27015 to 27016 your clients won't be able to connect.

It would be very helpful because it would allow us to move to better hosts and faster servers without losing 90% of our players due to an IP change. Even for TF2, quickplay accounts do little to help a migration.

    Why would you need to go IP -> name?
    And to my understanding the majority of the server browser
    wouldn't even have to be recoded, it would just need to store the
    string rather than the ip, and then resolve it everytime someone
    wants the server information. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this?)

            The biggest problem with sub domains is that one day you
            could point everyone to a server based in the USA and the
            next day point everyone to a server is Russia.

            However, I do agree it would be nice.

            The next problem would be how to setup such system.

                Okay guys, seriously now. Can we please get SRV record
                support for srcds? Also, having favourites saved based
                on (sub)domain and not just IP?

                I think we all want to see this actually addressed. I
                haven't yet seen a good reason why these haven't been.
