You don't need to set anything to specify the referer, IIRC it appears
as:
hl1://refering.server.ip.address:port
(Presumably SRCDS referals will be hl2:// etc.)
you can restrict the downloads pretty easily if you're using apache, you
just need mod_rewrite and a configuration rule like this:
<Directory "/path/to/download/directory">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !YOUR\.GAMESERVER\.IP\.ADDRESS
RewriteRule ^/.* - [F]
</Directory>
This rewrites any request where the referer dosn't match the appropriate
IP to HTTP 403 (Forbidden).
