Oh, that's great.  John's already got me on zuluviz.sdsu.edu where I was 
going to stand up a GeoServer with TileCache, OpenLayers and PostGIS, 
and peer it with GeoServer's on a couple of boxes I have (either with 
crschmidt's and Schuylers coming distribute tile cache, or in a more 
adhoc method by just using cr5's quick hack to have openlayers hit more 
than one server name).  So you can use my styles served from GeoServer, 
or make your own for MapServer.

Having vmap1 would be great, I've got vmap0 in my dataset, and would 
love to point people at one that vmap1 where available.

I'm not sure how to dump to 'geodata', I made a directory on zuluviz 
where I started dumping (but can't get on right now to point you exactly 
where it is).

best regards,

Chris
