<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>The best approach I can
think of, would be to figure out how to add the points to the database in a
dynamic method, and use MapServer as the Query/Render engine. This is how
we do GPS location points for example. The points are loaded into the
Database (POSTGIS) and simply (re)read as a display request by MapServer.</span></font>

<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Just set up both sides,
the Database and the MapServer connectivity to the database as two separate
processes, and that should get you what you are after.</span></font> </p>
