Sounds simple, but the result looks a bit weired. The latest version of 
openlayers plugin allows freely all zoom scales, with quit good tile 
resizing.

I am also using self-tiled geotiffs from various sources, addressed via 
localhost. It needs only little tweak of the openlayers plugin to get 
them incorporated.
