What exactly are you checking with the web traffic?

Could you be more specific?  pings, etc. .

and a more primitive way to search the ports that Marc mentioned, 
besides

/usr/port$ make search name=<port>

is to bring up the text file of the port listings, and do a ctl-f in 
your browser. . .

(maybe that's what you *are* referring to)

Also bsdsearch.com and then of course our very own Dan's freshports.
