***Sharing Internet Connections
Protecting your computer when you're online is good. If you have
multiple computers in your home or small business, protecting all of
them is also good--especially if you can share your internet connection.

safely with a FreeBSD or similar Unix system and fwbuilder.

***Scaling Dynamic Websites with Apache Modules
Yogesh Makwana and Syvum Technologies had a problem: their application,

response times and load averages under control. This case study explores
their technique.
