Best book or tutorial for iptables

[Joe Tseng]

I've been trying to get up to speed as well regarding iptables as well, and 
although your problems may differ from mine, my issue has been that the 
"tutorials" online teach you everything plus the kitchen sink.  I came to 
realize that a) I have a specific problem to solve and b) I want a concise 
example that would help me achieve that goal while still teaching me 
concepts that a tutorial would.

With that said, I found this recently:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/examplescripts.html

The subsequent pages have network layout illustrations depicting the 
behavior dictated by the commands that appear later in those pages.  From 
the brief bit I've seen it ought to help people who want to get going 
quickly.
