[mapserver-users] aea projection support?

[Daniel Morissette]

In order for reprojection to happen in MapServer, you need to specify
both input and output projections in your mapfile.  i.e. you need to
specify the output projection at the top-level in your mapfile, and you
also need to specify the input projection for each layer.

Something to check anyway...
