BLAST/FASTA search of a specific sequence

Hi netters

I am hoping that somebody out there can help me.

What I want to do is search all 6 possible orfs of specific sequences 
with a very short peptide sequence (6 - 10 aa in length).  The specific 
sequences are the complete sequences of human herpesviruses, each one is 
>150,000 bp in size.

If I send to a server to do a BLAST/FASTA search of the EMBL or GenBank 
databases I will probably have to sift through lots of irrelevant 
matches.

Anybody out there got a solution.

Many thanks

Mick
