 Hi, It seems that there's an intermittent tile map server problem where
 this
 online tool that uses OSGEO mapping is not correctly showing the tiles.
 This tool has been working without a hitch but recently soemtimes
 experienced intermittent problems when vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org doesn't
 respond with a tile image.
 http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/cgi-lats4d/webform.cgi

 I've tracked it down to this URL calls failing on occasion. Would you know
 if you guys are having service issues for vmap0 tile service or is it
 caused by something else, maybe a firewall blocking access from nasa
 servers?

 http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0?LAYERS=basic&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fjpeg&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-180,-90,0,90&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

 I'm using the exact same link from my browser and it sometimes shows a
 tile while sometimes it throws an "Internal Server Error".  Any help would
 be appreciated.
