  That really is the fundamental problem, and one I've seen a lot.

  Everyone wants documentation for how to configure the server for
their system.  They'd rather not read through documentation for how to
configure *other* peoples systems.  And they'd rather not read through
general documentation saying how the server works, and what each module does.

  I plan on addressing at least some of that with my book.

  Yes, and many questions are "How do I configure the server to do stuff?"

  That's a useless question, and guaranteed to not solve the problem.

  I'm writing one.  I've got about 60 pages of good content, and 50
pages of rough notes.
