 Ed -
 
 We do it on TopoZone hundreds of thousands of times every day....
 
 The process is no different than with vector data; you simply specify the
 source projection of each layer with a PROJECTION block inside the LAYER
 definition, and specify the output projection for the map image with a
 PROJECTION block at the top level in your map file.
 
 You will want mapserv -v to report SUPPORTS=GDAL and SUPPORTS=PROJ (it
 would be unusual for your distribution to NOT do this), and you will need
 to install the PROJ.4 package.
