I would not use mode=tile as it is very limited and does not do any 
caching and does not support metatiles so it has a lat of labeling 
issues. It was originally implemented to allow Google Maps API users to 
use mapserver to generate overlay tiles, but mod_geocache does a better 
job of that now and handles translating multiple different tile request 
protocols to a single cache of tiles.
