Buidling small freebsd router

[David J. Orman]

#1 - FreeBSD handbook. Once you understand FreeBSD, then move on to PF. Don't bother with the other packet filters unless you have a need to be compatible with ipfw/ipf.

#2 - For PF, a lot of the docs are for OpenBSD. This is fine, FreeBSD uses the same PF.

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/

#3 - If you need traffic shaping/QoS/etc, ALTQ is what you need.

Have fun!

PS - Some books on firewall design might help you out. :) Sounds like you're just going to be doing basic NAT though, which is a ten minute setup if you read the docs!
