[mapserver-users] Projection values of mapfile

[Christy Nieman]

Hello,

If you are using a recent version of PROJ.4, you should be able to use 
epsg:3857 for Web Mercator.  MapServer can reproject your data 
on-the-fly if you also have projection blocks in your layer definitions 
to say what projection the data are (i.e. epsg:4326). This will slow 
down the map draws somewhat, so if you are planning to always display 
this map in Web Mercator, it's a good idea to reproject your shapefiles.

... oh, it looks like Jeff beat me to it :)
