Hi Kristjan,

You could try to setup the kilometers layer as a WMS layer controlled
by its own mapfile set to output as kilometers. With your original
mapfile set to access that WMS layer.

If that doesnt work ... perhaps there is a projection, or perhaps you
could define a projection that differs from the other only by the
units. Maybe a projection expert could comment on that.

Cheers,
