It Sounds like you're looking for servers through the built-in utility. I have also noticed less and less servers available through it. I'd check your filter settings. 1st and most important, make sure you didn't actually check the "anti-cheating" option. You'll get no servers that way. Make sure your filter is set to "NS". Max out the "responded under xxxms" field, and click "are running game", "are not empty" and "are not full". That should give servers that have action.
I would strongly advise you to get either Gamespy, or All Seeing Eye to look for servers. Many times I get very diferent lists from the built-in utility. I use Gamespy, because I picked it up along the way somewhere. The servers are under Half-Life>MODs>Natural Selection. I allways find servers that way, even if I don't through the built-in utility.
I hope that helps. Cheers!
