Suggested Books & Guides on small bisiness LAN with FreeBSD

[Derek Ragona]

You can make your FreeBSD servers your DNS servers and configure them to 
look upsteam to your ISP's DNS servers for servers not known.

I prefer to buy and use printers with built-in networking that support PCL 
and Postscript.  So clients can just send jobs to those printers directly.
