MessageHi Trent,

If you only need to display a majority of the layers, one approach I've =
used with much success is breaking the layer list up into suitable =
chunks, and publishing these chuncks as seperate (local) WMS services, =
i.e. as a cascading WMS server. It also helps to administer a large =
number of layers, being able to "outsource" the internal handling of a =
number of layers to a single resource.

A WMS layer is just one layer in a MAP file, but it's content may in =
reality be any number of layers (up to 100).

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Lars V. Nielsen

  Subject: [Mapserver-users] More than 100 layers in Mapserver

  Does anyone have Windows binaries for, say, 500 layers (or even more) =
in Mapserver?  Can anyone comment on if such a large number of layers is =
an issue?

  Thanks,

  Trent Burton
