snort.conf

["Chuck Holley" <cholley () fitnessquest com>]

I have snort running, and I am impressed by it. I guess now I am trying to
understand the conf.  I understand what the variables do sort of.  I would
like to set variables for my DNS servers, SMTP, and Web.  How do I do that
exactly???  What does the external_net mean??  I guess I am looking for a
sample conf with explanations of my options and what they mean.  I am brand
new to IDS, excuse my ignorance.
