Moodle documentation: guide for installation set up

This will probably not be one of your immediate priorities but would it be possible to produce a guide to system set up.  I am in the middle of a "discussion" with our technical people about whether moodle should be accessible like any website or should be cowering behind a firewall and reverse proxy. 

They insist ofn having it behind a proxy but this is inhibiting uptake and could even lead to us abandoning moodle altogether.  Some advice on set up, security and reasons for such would be very helpful.

We have moodle running behind a reverse proxy (Novell iChain). ichain controls login and access to various web sites we run at the college.

We have modified 3 files
/login/index.php
/login/logout.php
/config.php

This way when ppl log into ichain once that covers both our portal and moodle
