It sounds like you might already have servers that are trampling all
over each other and you are just realizing it for the first time. Same
thing happened to me and I was horrified. I would recommend you audit
all of your servers and make sure they are actually using the resources
you think they should be.
Use -strictportbind on all of your servers.
Please see a relatively recent message from me on this list on my
recommendations for running multiple servers on a single IP;

Collect some info on your currently running servers and make sure they
are all on the resources you expect;
sudo lsof -i 4 -n -a -p $GAMESERVPID
If you want to see what is currently taking up a given port do something
like;
sudo netstat -anp | egrep $PORTNUM

I've seen this twice now.
The TF2 server crashes.
It auto-restarts.
When it comes back-up again, it doesn't use the port number that has been
specified (and before the crash it had been using).
My guess, is that when the binary crashes, the old port/socket doesn't get
released immediately.
So, when the binary get's started back up, it's not immediately available - so
it picks another port.
Needless to say, this is a big deal for servers where many players use their
"favorites" list to find.
This didn't start with the latest round of TF2 updates.
The first time I saw it was back on January 25t - never before.
Since then, It's only happened maybe twice - including just now.

Operating System: CentOS 5.9
Architecture: 32-bit (x86).
