And you were sure that all cvsup traffic was tunneled over http? https? inside DNS queries? as a distinct IP-level protocol? in a special Vlan directly inside Ethernet frames? :-) To add the info into Handbook might be a good idea, but I just can't help smiling when I try to imagine how cvsup working through a dedicated tcp port can cause frustration. /etc/services is your friend.
