The best solution is for Valve to fix the client so it actually sends the server IP/Port as the referrer like it's supposed to.

The best implementation is a metamod plugin which sends a request to a http server requesting that the IP address of the client will be added to the db on first time connect. Then sv_downloadurl can be pointed to a php file which will evaluate the ip against the DB and either send the file or return a 403 if download is forbidden. The httpd shouldn't listen on port 80 as many isps automatically reroute http requests through their own proxy server and therefore changing the IP.
