Just about the best series of books related to the internet is the "A
Nutshell Handbook" published by "O'Reilly & Associates, Inc."

I have at least ten of their books laying around or lent out to people.
However, this series, I think, does not contain specific information about
what you are speaking of.  I would recommend that you go to either cdrom.com
or amazon.com and take a look through the books they have.  cdrom.com has
the FreeBSD guide book, and amazon.com just has tons of books.
