Jerl,

There is some discussion of this in the wiki in:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorldMappingIssues

There are many challenges with mapping over the antimeridian.  If you can
provide details of the projection you are mapping in, the projection of
the data, type type of data (lines, raster) and the behaviour you are
seeing we might be able to give some specific advice.

I am keen on seeing global mapping work better in MapServer but it gets
very sticky.

Best regards,
