[Geomoose-users] taking advantage of cached ArcGIS rest services

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to take advantage of cached ArcGIS rest services.  I would like to see If I could make Geomoose run as fast as possible, which I guess that would involve ArcGIS Server to send images directly from the cache as opposed to resample images.

If that can be done I have a couple questions:

*       How do we pull images directly from the ArcGIS cache, and have ArcGIS resample images?  (or is that done automatically)
*       Some cached layers in ArcGIS are now in a mixed mode, therefore ArcGIS stores either PNG and JPG to the cache.  Do we leave out <param name="FORMAT" value="PNG"/>?
*       Is there any concern with Mapserver / GeoMoose assuming a 72 dpi while ArcGIS assumes a 96?


Any other advice would be appreciated

Thanks
