[mapserver-users] tile server

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello All,

I recovered the post where I found how remote tiles from a WMS-C cache 
are supported here:
http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Using_With_MapServer

Now, what I want to use this structure for is to get OpenStreetMap maps 
served as layers in my mapserver. OpenStreetMap uses mapnik to serve the 
tile layers, they are accessed in the form:

http://tile.openstreetmap.org/7/63/42.png

How would an xml file be set up to serve this as a layer?

Main purpose is to expand the usability of openstreetmap into the 
desktop-GIS world by using mapserver as intermediate WMS server.
