Use IPfilter and TCPwrappers for firewall. Also tripwire. Strip kernel, remove users, double-checks perms, disable *all* unnecessary services from inetd. Use CERN or Apache Web server. Set up 'bogus' DNS server, which only reports name/address for machines in DMZ. Configure TIS FWTK smap, ftp-gw and plug-gw. Run anon-ftp in chrooted env. Also httpd. Log everything. Maybe most importantly, know what you're doing.
