I'm not really understanding the distinction that you're looking for. 
For FreeBSD-specific technical discussions, this is the place. 
Applications of course have their own lists, which are obviously more 
appropriate for application-specific questions.

For broader discussions, perhaps regarding best practices in system 
administration, commercial backup recommendations, etc, I find SAGE (the 
System Administrators Guild) to be an extremely valuable resource. The 
community seems roughly split between the educational and corporate 
sectors, with a very high level of signal. The topics covered on the 
SAGE mailing list are of high relevance to the profession and practices 
of system administrators, especially for someone with a network such as 
yours.
