[Tilecache] Multiple WMS servers

[Tibor Arpas]

Hi,

we were able to merge GDAL and WMS layer using your approach (third layer)
with no problem. But we only used tilecache_seed.py for the third layer
(against a different server instance). I didn't try to use on the fly
serving of the third layer because of the loop-back :-). But shouldn't the
loop back work also OK if you can restrict the external concurrent requests
to one third of what the tilecache instance can handle? (Each external
request can generate up to two child request towards the same instance.) I
guess it also depends on your deployment. What's your deployment
(standalone/mod_python)? And what's the behavior/error messages?
