How to get the query port

[phil_1950.ita]

Valve server queries are clear and is relatively easy to get server info in .net language... BUT YOU MUST KNOW THE QUERY PORT to query the server.
Each game has a default query port, but admins can change it without problems, so that is impossible to get info from those servers.
So the question: how to get the query port of a valve game server?

You use the default, and complain to server admins that don't.

The problem is that some servers where I usually play DON'T HAVE standard port and I can't query those servers by my code to know when the match is finished and join the game.
How can web sites like gametracker to query ALL servers? Evidently them KNOW the query port.

UP!
I ask again: is there a specific query to get the game port of a America's Arny (Steam game) specific server?

It's down to the following possibilities:
1. The default port for the game
2. The master server has a list of all servers announcing themselves (you don't really think a game browser tries all IPs with all ports)
3. Ask the admin
If 1 is unavailable because the admin chose some other port, it's down to 2 or 3. Pick one.

I pretty sure it must be this.
The master server must know custom ports. Otherwise it is pretty useless. Pretty. But useless :-)
