If you're capturing, use

	host {web site domain name or IP address}

as a capture filter.

If you've already captured, use

	ip.addr == {web site domain or IP address}

as a display filter, although note that the display filter (unlike the
capture filter) won't handle a domain name that has more than one IP
address associated with it (it'll just match the first one it's seen).

If you also need to worry about the *client* machine, do

	host {web server} and host {web client}

as a capture filter and

	ip.addr == {web server} and ip.addr == {web client}

as a display filter.
