[Tilecache] Showing ESRI-data in with TileCache

[Michael Östling]

Hi,
I'm a ESRI-user that would like to try out this TileCache and OpenLayers.
>From the demos I have seen they look very nice. I  have a question on how I
should best "eat the elephant".
I have right now a ArcGIS Server 9.2 application with a mapCache. It is
built using a MXD-project with something like 200 layers in it. What is the
best way to show this with openlayers?

>From what i can understand some of the following ways could be possible:

1
Convert the MXD-project to MapServers Map-file.
Set up a MapServer project.
Set up the MapServer project as WMS
Set up TileCach on top of MapServer
Connect OpenLayers to the Tilecache

2
Configure ArcGIS Server to be a WMS-service. (of course an expensive
solution, but just to show the possibility)
Set up TileCache to read this WMS service
Connect OpenLayers to the Tilecache

3
Configure OpenLayers to read ArcGISServer MapCache.
Perhaps not possible (yet)

Are there other (better) ways that this could be done?
These are amazing software but somewhat hard to understand.

Regards
Michael
