[Mapserver-users] Re: Handling Multiple projections in a single map file

[Paul Ramsey]

(a) ask questions using the mapserver-users list, your odds of being 
ignored are lower that way
(b) Use a "GROUP" to simulate a single layer:

MAP
   PROJECTION
      ... master projection ...
   END
   LAYER
     GROUP images
     NAME images-utm8
     PROJECTION
        ... utm8 ...
     END
     ...
   END
   LAYER
     GROUP images
     NAME images-utm9
     PROJECTION
        ... utm9 ...
     END
     ...
   END
END
