<p class="MsoNormal">Question 1: Limit a cached area by using a shapefile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does map server give us the ability to limit the extent of a cache using a shapefile? I know we can set up a rectangular grid for the extent. However, I would like to make sure tiles are not generated beyond the area of interest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 2: Can we or should we adjust the Google Compatible 3857 grid?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I realize I should start supporting the 3857 grid for some applications. However, I also don’t see the need to cache the entire world. What is the best approach to build a cache for a small area that is in the same tile schema that Google,
Bing, and ArcGIS use?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*Is there a tool available to calculate the appropriate rectangular grid for an area of interest?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*Similar to question 1, can we limit the cached area using a shapefile?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 3: Are there any considerations if multiple grids use the same projection?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any considerations if multiple grids use the same projection. For example, will there be a problem if we have a cache for County A, County B, and County C all using the 3857 grid? After adding the WMS layer I noticed that the
dialog for ArcMap<span style="font-family:Wingdings">à</span>WMS Layer<span style="font-family:Wingdings">à</span>Change Coordinate System will list every projection configured in MapCache even if that particular projection applies to a different county.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*Will Mapcache work with multiple grids using the same projection?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*Am I better off setting up several mapcache aliases such as
