Writing Good Network Documentation?

_Hellfire_ asks: "As the Senior Technician at a small mobile computing service I have just recently wrapped up a rather large networking job. The network includes a Linux Primary Domain Controller, Cisco router, port redirection for VNC, tape backup solution etc. - all in all fairly complex and not the sort of thing that someone not already familiar could easily take over. I therefore want to write good, comprehensive documentation for other technicians in case I'm not specifically available. How have other Slashdotters tackled this issue? Where do you start? How do you make sure that everything is covered, particularly when you've spent the last three weeks looking at the same set of equipment?"
