I've actually done something similar to this with Dota 2; for one approach
to doing custom games (way before valve released their official system) I
set up some code to change the CM that the server connected to (in that
case to a custom one, but it can be done with an official one instead).
While it is true that it re-acquires the CM list, there's also a hard-coded
list in steamclient.dll (including some entries that have hard-coded IP
addresses, and some entries that are hard-coded domain names). It's a
massive hack, but it sounds like it could solve your issue...with maybe a
bit of maintenance every now and then.
