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.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for advice or suggestions on how to [re]design a small
business network with FreeBSD. I know that's a pretty broad topic -- I'm
not looking for a simple answer, so much as reference materials.
Background: for over 5 years we've had our business running with a few
FreeBSD servers. An external Internet connected box serves smtp, imap,
http, ftp, dns (external and LAN internal) and http-proxy. Another server
(on LAN behind NAT router) has Samba file & print services, lpd and some
other things.
I guess what I'm looking for is "best practice" suggestions for
configuring all this optimally. Problems we have currently include DNS --
if the Internet connection goes down, the server chokes, and we can't even
get internal DNS. And security issues, eg: should the email accounts
reside on an Internet-exposed server?
O'Reilly sells "Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit" which sounds like some
of what I'm looking for, except that it's for Linux -- but I've dabbled
with that kludge enough to probably apply the concepts to FreeBSD ;) Any
other suggestions on good books, web sites, etc?
