Mike,

Besides the usual reading of the Ipchains HOW-To, several articles found on 
the I.net, downloaded the TrinityOS document from 
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS.wri    Found the 
firewall script easy to read, understand, and configure for my purposes-
especially good as it gives examples of options to enable or disable 
individual hosts from the transversing the firewall, provides options to 
reject and deny specific sets of IP Addresses, includes information about 
securing your server, and David Ranch provides downloadable files via his 
site.

Hope this helps.
