Carla,

You should only have one coordinate system definition in your PROJECTION
block which should reflect the actual coordinate system of the data on
disk (or in the database,etc).  The list of offered coordinate systems for
WMS server should be handle via the wms_srs metadata item in the web section.

Like:

WEB

  IMAGEPATH "/tmp/ms_tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"

   METADATA
     "wms_title"		   "Test simple wms"
     "wms_onlineresource"   "http://localhost/path/to/wms_simple?"
     "wms_srs"		   "EPSG:42304 EPSG:42101 EPSG:4269 EPSG:4326"
     "ows_schemas_location" "http://ogc.dmsolutions.ca"
   END
END

Best regards,
