[mapserver-users] Clipping out unprojectable area?

[Gregor at HostGIS]

Hey guys. This picture says the first 1000 words:

In this case it's a UTM projection for South America, and they're zoomed 
out inappropriately, so the rest of the world looks ugly.

The client's request, is whether MapServer has a mechanism for clipping 
out the area of the requested bbox which would look too gnarly given the 
projection.

The application is in PHP and uses PostGIS, so solutions at either of 
those levels would also be welcome.
