Line Labels (multiple Labels)

All,

I think I saw something like this being asked a few months back, but 
haven't found it in a search.

I need to be able to label a line at both ends and on both sides.   Are 
there some techniques to use in MapServer for this?   I can generate the 
point locations from other software for the labels, but the dataset 
changes quite frequently and I woulds like to pursue an automated method 
if possible.

What I'm trying to label is a Street Centerline with the address ranges 
on both ends, we also have a right/left distinction at both ends so that 
I would need a label on each side of the line as well.  Needless to say 
the labels would need to align with the line segment as well rotationally

 Even a search keyword would help if someone knows of something in the 
archives.

Thanks for any info.
