The answer to your question is a 70-page book (without a lot of examples, and assuming you're already familiar with Unix.) Perhaps find a FreeBSD person locally who can assist you. Look for FreeBSD user's group meetings close to where you live, if you're lucky enough to live close to a FreeBSD user's group. You'd want to run named (bind) to serve DNS, sendmail or other mailer to handle outgoing mail, POP and IMAP to serve user mail, radius, maybe, to authenticate dialup users, a server to host shell accounts, apache to serve out virtual domains, a firewall, and other things as you need them or users request them. The three main publishers-of-record for Unix stuff are O'Reilly WROX New Riders and there are books about DNS, Apache, Sendmail and firewalls. Only some of the stuff (e.g. radius) is 'arcane'. It should take you a few hours to get it all working (including routers and other equipment) if you know what you're doing. Good Luck and Have Fun.
