Stewart,

What I understad is that you need to select the flows with port 80 and 
443 as destination.

    root at nsm:~# racluster -n -L0 -r argus.2008.03.04.16.15.00 -m proto 
dport  -s proto dport trans pkts bytes - tcp dst port \( 80 or 443 \)
     Proto  Dport  Trans  TotPkts   TotBytes
      tcp 80      11267   443965  387447782
      tcp 443       690    12372    5559044

I'm newbie to argus  so I can be wrong. ;)

Best regards,

Pablo J. Rebollo
