As a *user* who uses FreeBSD for just this type of back end server stuff, you're right on the ball. Other pointers to include in the manual would be Squid (for Web Proxy) or either/both of the Firewall solutions (for a full internet gateway). I like the sound of this book idea - unfortunately I don't feel I'm enough of an expert to contribute - I'm still at the stage of finding out how to do these things myself.
