[OpenLayers-Users] change projection layer dynamically

[Roald de Wit]

Hi Toni,

Can you tell me how this WMS server works (the one that expects 
different projections based on the area of Spain that you're looking at)?
Is it one layer for the whole country or 3 different layers that you 
would request (1 layer for every projection/region)? I'd be surprised if 
it was 1 layer.

Regards, Roald
