Yes I agree Justin. I learnt much about networking through "Linux 
Routers" and Radia Perlman's "Interconnections."  The latter doesn't 
describe firewall explicitly but it does provide good understanding of 
networks.  I use all these books as a "toolbox" combination.

I found 'Linux Routers' by Tony Mancill to be useful, as covering linux
as a router also requires a lot of information on netfilter/linux in
different kinds of network topology, plus traffic shaping, as well as
all the usual stuff on firewalls and so on. Its about 400 pages and the
2nd edition is on 2.4      http://mancill.com/linuxrouters/
