This would probably be too big of a hassle for Valve to implement into the Source engine, but you can always make a feature request on Valve's Github.
If you run all your servers from the same box and the same srcds installation tree just end your server.cfg (or any other cfg file that gets executed during each map change) with the following cvars: writeip // write banned ip's to banned_ip.cfg writeid // write banned steam id's to banned_user.cfg exec banned_ip.cfg exec banned_user.cfg That way at every mapchange your server will write it's new bans to disk and then re-read the files to be up-to-date. If you're running on multiple Linux boxes you can probably sync those files regularly (every hour?) with rsync using cron. There probably are even smarter tools that can permanently check if the files have changed. On Windows... I don't know if and how it would work, but dropbox and junctions come to mind.
