The best online doc I can think of is here (TrinityOS): http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/ He even has some shell scripts you can download, examples of strong rule sets, etc. There's also: http://members.home.net/ipmasq/ I'll be tackling this soon on my upgraded (2.2.16) server soon, so I can't really tell you much right now (my current gateway box is still running 2.0.36/ipfwadm).
