in-house ports list

With all the buzz about these bots floating around,  I've made an effort
to chase down unknown traffic on certain odd ports.  An IANA port search
usually turns up an unused range.  Google searches usually aren't
helpful either.

Does anyone have an in-house ports list that you've been developing?
For instance, I've noticed that TCP 20480 is always associated with
random hostnames but it always ends with blue.aol.com.  I'm going to
start developing one but it would be nice if someone had something
similar.  Anyone?

I would be willing to publish it as I go if anyone is interested.
