Let's assume that your network guy knows nothing about IBM i and it's command structure.
Can you create a user profile for him on IBM i? If so, then show him this link and how to fire up iACS Run SQL Scripts
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/QSYS2.NETSTAT_INFO
This will allow him to do a netstat, which any network guy should know, independent of OS.
He'll be looking for local port 80 for http and 443 for https.
Then he can do his own nslookups, etc to find what name(s) are associated with your IP interface(s) being served.
He can also look up cname records in the dns, etc.

This should be enough to tell him stuff like
http://companyX.com
http://companyY.com
both go to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and so on.

Now, he won't be able to figure out (and probably you neither) how many varieties of
http://companyX.com/herewego
http://companyX.com/therewego
...
there may be.

Now, if it makes your bowels void to give him access to your machine then wrap that link I showed you in a CREATE TABLE like this
create table rob.netstat as
(SELECT *
FROM qsys2.netstat_info)
with data;
cl: CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(ROB/NETSTAT) TOSTMF('/home/rob/netstat.csv') STMFCCSID(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CRLF) ADDCOLNAM(*SQL);
and give him a copy of that csv file.
