[mapserver-users] MapCahe question -- Caching the first couple of zoom levels

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

GeoWebCache supports this as "Selective zoom level caching"
http://geowebcache.org/docs/current/configuration/layers/selectivezoom.html
MapProxy seems to be able to do the same with directives "use_direct_from_level" and "use_direct_from_res"
http://mapproxy.org/docs/1.6.0/configuration.html

I guess that Mapcache will also support this practical feature sooner or later.
