Got a box with multiple IPs, and only a few of the CoD servers are showing up on the server list, while the others don't. Don't know what could be causing this.
69.9.178.56
69.9.178.57
69.9.178.58
69.9.178.59
69.9.178.60
69.9.178.61
69.9.178.62
69.9.178.63
All on default port: 28960
People seem to connect to the servers even though it doesn't show on the list. I was using http://stats.callofduty.com/index.php to see if they appear on the list. I play in 69.9.178.57 and usually people are able to connect get around 20 people. Some people time out after map rotates and the max ping is set to 400. Max rate is 25000.

A few ideas:
1. Make sure that each server is bound properly to its correct IP using "+set net_port 69.9.178.xx" in the startup line. Don't put net_port in the config file because that's not always reliable.
2. Make sure that the console for each instance is sending its heartbeat to Activision every few minutes.
3. Make sure your firewall is open to all those IPs/ports. I assume you aren't behind a NAT that is changing your outgoing IPs or ports, right? If you have a NAT that is doing that, then you'll need to see what those outgoing ports are and get your router to forward those external ports to your real 28960 internal ports. You might want to log onto one of your servers that doesn't appear in the list and ask the players what IP and port it shows for your server on their status screens.

4. Make sure you have DNS resolvers setup. CoD will resolve the master servers by name.
Of course, if one or two servers are working, this probably isn't the problem, but i'm putting it out here for people who come across this thread in a search ;)

1. The servers are bound to IPs correctly, the cvars are in the startup line.
2. Ill check on this one.
3. No firewall
