Mapserver use in Australia

[Cameron Shorter]

Hello Lyndon,

There are a number of people using mapserv in Australia.  In particular,
people using mapserv to serve maps to middleware which mixes layers of
maps from different locations and then resubmits it to the web as a gif.

See http://webmap.socialchange.net.au for a link to a few examples.

So yes, I consider mapserv suitable for what you are describing.
Feel free to call and discuss further if you like.  Details below.
