Thanks for the info. I actually just ordered the latest edition of the 
book from the online store at daemonnews.org for $21.50 which is some 
sort of special because that's way cheaper than it should be. And since 
this book is recommended quite often on this list I might recommend 
everyone check out the deal and pick up a copy.

It has cleared up quite a few issues, but I guess what I'm looking for 
are some good books on setting up firewalls and tcp/ip & udp routing. 
Anyone have any ideas?
