[Mapserver-users] Mapserver WMS as server to ArcIMS service

[Paul Ramsey]

Is this correct? I was of the understanding that the ArcIMS WMS 
connector exposes the ArcIMS data as a WMS server. So if you have set up 
the WMS connector on ArcIMS you can use a WMS client to view the ArcIMS 
data. In fact, I have seen it in action in the government here, and have 
cascaded a mapserver service onto an ArcIMS server which used the WMS 
connector.

It is the opposite direction, the ArcIMS server *pulling* data from a 
WMS server, which I whink it impossible... yes?
