Like I said. That would make the good server's reputation drop somewhat. "the algorithm also takes into account past history of the server, ping time, etc." You would then be telling quickplay that the good server now becomes empty earlier.
But that would work still. However if you keep going back and forth the reputation will keep dropping and eventually you'll have 2 significantly less popular servers. You'll be fine if you move the server to a new ip due to an upgrade/host change. That's the biggest benefit of the registration system. As long as you move the authentication information as well, the new server should become popular. But it still depends on other factors like location and amount of players currently playing.
