I still think joining

 http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

An excellent start.  With regard to firewalls, a simpler if less-secure
approach it to open the firewall to trusted machines on the local net.
Might want to address the "insecure" parameter in /etc/exports for those
using NAT.  Fixing a few typos ("variou configuration" "But bere is")
would take you a bit further down the road in an asymptotic approach
toward perfection.  :-)
