Thanks..the sql server db is 2005 so I don't have geometry support
available in the db

The only options I can see are
1) Install postgres to pull the data from sql server every hour but th is
seems a bit messy but might be the best option if I use geoserver
2) investigate if there is an ogr data store for geoserver out there.
3) Use Mapserver!

What do you think?

Thanks,
Jerry
