[Tilecache] Caching external WMS through a proxy

[Chris Whitney]

If I understand the question correctly:

[ Tilecache on Apache] -> [proxy] -> [WMS Server]

If so, this isn't really the responsibility of Tilecache to make sure  
that outgoing HTTP (WMS) requests go through the proxy. Depending on  
what you mean by "proxy"  (is it an HTTP proxy, SOCKS, VPN tunnel, or  
some machine that you SSH tunnel through, etc) you will have to  
configure the operating system / third-party tool correctly.

Hopefully that helps.
