[mapserver-users] Mapcache Question

[Travis Kirstine]

Tim,

MapCache Is simply a tiling server.  It will take images from a source and
store them in a cache.  These tiles are exposed as services to clients -
WMTS, WMS, TMS etc...  MapServer on the other hand will read source data
(GIS files / database) and render images based on rules defined in the
mapfile.  These images are used as the source for MapCache.
