server had 1.2 million hits. (767K for tilecache and 467 for mapserver)
Tilecache had 68 errors in August while mapserver didn’t throw more than
2 (it wasn’t in the top 20 errors listed so I don’t actually know
if it threw any at all).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

site, beating out ArcGis Server 9.2 in performance, aesthetics and usability.
I had gotten permission to try a MapServer/OpenLayers version while the AGS
group did theirs. 6 weeks before the due date (and 2 weeks after I
started), we had a meeting to show off each groups progress. We spent 10
minutes perusing the AGS stuff, and the next hour and a half *<b><span

final home but the above URL should work (it is after all a live site).
The new stack, with dedicated linux tile server and w2k3 map server is at <a
href="http://pweb1.hud.uai.com/pls">http://pweb1.hud.uai.com/pls</a> and uses
MS 5 for feeding the tile server (I’ve found a few bugs in MS 5 so parts
are in MS 4). This site hopefully will be the live site sometime tomorrow,
but it could go up and down till then.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
