The WMS specification supports a few chosen projections that are dynamic,
the AUTO (WMS 1.1) and AUTO2 (WMS 1.3) projections, where the
code is followed normally by the central meridian and central parallel.
These projections are:
auto:42001 -> Universal Transverse Mercator
auto:42002 -> Auto Transverse Mercator
auto:42003 -> Auto Orthographic
auto:42004 -> Auto Equirectangular
auto:42005 -> Auto Mollweide (not actually supported by GeoServer right now)

This one is not part of the supported auto projections, by writing new code
in the geotools gt-referencing module it's definitely be possible to support
one of the various polar stereographic variants in the AUTO fashion,
the code should probably stay away from the 4200x range since that's used by OGC
