Suggested Books & Guides on small bisiness LAN with FreeBSD

You can make your FreeBSD servers your DNS servers and
configure them to 
look upsteam to your ISP's DNS servers for servers not
known.

I prefer to buy and use printers with built-in networking
that support PCL 
and Postscript.  So clients can just send jobs to those
printers directly.
