Suggested Books & Guides on small bisiness LAN with FreeBSD
Hi Guys, I'm looking for advice or suggestions on how to [re]design a small business network with FreeBSD. I know that's a pretty broad topic -- I'm not looking for a simple answer, so much as reference materials. Background: for over 5 years we've had our business running with a few FreeBSD servers. An external Internet connected box serves smtp, imap, http, ftp, dns (external and LAN internal) and http-proxy. Another server (on LAN behind NAT router) has Samba file & print services, lpd and some other things. I guess what I'm looking for is "best practice" suggestions for configuring all this optimally. Problems we have currently include DNS -- if the Internet connection goes down, the server chokes, and we can't even get internal DNS. And security issues, eg: should the email accounts reside on an Internet-exposed server? O'Reilly sells "Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit" which sounds like some of what I'm looking for, except that it's for Linux -- but I've dabbled with that kludge enough to probably apply the concepts to FreeBSD ;) Any other suggestions on good books, web sites, etc? -Wayne B. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Actually I was reading up on correct vs. common plurals after a little debate around the office. It would appear the 'ii plural or virus is NOT correct.

'Cause that's how it's shown in the quick & dirty example in The Handbook or FAQ or something ;) I didn't find much other info on it, but I figured you had to coordinate it on both ends, and it was overkill for my needs. Should I mess with it? -Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
