Looks good.  It's not an area I'm familiar with, so I can't say more
than that :-)

Yes.  By far the easiest way to do it is.

  1.  Install the docproj/ meta-port, as described in the Doc. Proj.
      Primer, at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-prime=
r/

  2.  Get a local copy of the FreeBSD doc/ tree.  Either use CVSup in
      "checkout" mode to do this, or get a full copy of the CVS repository
      locally.

      If you have the CVS repository locally then as a minimum you will
      need to checkout the doc/share, doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/share, and=20
      doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles directories.

  3.  Place your document in a subdirectory of the articles/ directory,
      (perhaps vpn-w2k/) call it article.sgml, and give it a Makefile
      (which you can copy from any of the other articles).

  4.  Edit away.

  5.  To convert your document from DocBook to another format simply do
     =20
          make FORMAT=3Dfoo

      where 'foo' is one of html, html-split, txt, ps, pdf, rtf, or pdb.

  6.  Submit article.sgml using send-pr.

I think there are mechanical converters around, but they tend to work
best on big documents -- the Firewall 1 article isn't too big, so doing
it manually should probably only take about 30 minutes.
