<div>I am hitting the threshold because I have the three styles on multiple zoom levels. </div>
<div>But in Primagis there is now a way of combining the symbolizers, so that it would equate one style per zoomlevel. I am not sure how this maps down to mapserver, but I will give it a try tomorrow. Sean is also helping me out with this. (The worst would be recompiling, so the issue is not exactly pressing).
