Network Administration with FreeBSD 7 is the book that I have been working on for past year. And now it is published by Packt and is available for purchase from various bookstores.
This book is something that I have been looking for since I started with FreeBSD back in 1997. I needed a practical book with working examples of how to optimize my FreeBSD installations for various types of applications. And I never found that book, until I recently decided to write one.
“Network Administration with FreeBSD 7” is unique in several ways:
- I tried to cover the exciting new features and improvements introduced in FreeBSD 7
- It is full of tips and tricks on how to optimize your installation from optimizing disk I/O, network, virtual memory, etc.
- It covers IPv4 and IPv6 configuration as well and bridging and routing in FreeBSD
- It has working examples of different IPSec, GRE, PPP and GIF scenarios
- I tried to cover Jail virtualization in working real world examples
- Keeping your system up to date and customizing system for specific applications is thoroughly covered
I tried to stop telling stories in the book and give more real world examples instead, so reading this book would not make you smile 
An article named Tunneling with FreeBSD (taken from book) is also available on PACKT website.
Update: The book has its own website at http://freebsdbook.com

Congrats on the new book. Nice blog you have here. Nice to see a blog by another FreeBSD fan. Please keep up the good work. If you could blog more on real-world issues that you experience on the job, that would be interesting too. Otherwise, the theoretical stuff is enjoyable, too. Thanks.
Congrats man!
