Brent and Bobb.

I am using EPSG 103749, which is ESRI's custom version for our county coordinates.  I added those coordinates into MapServer and MapCache.  MapCache advertises the county coordinates, UTM 15, Google, and apparently GCS_WGS_1984.
-I tried using UTM 15 which is a more common projection.  That did not work.
-I should also mention that I can connect directly from an ArcGIS client to MapServer using county coordinates.  The only coordinate system that MapServer advertises is in our county coordinates.

Thanks
