I've got a large map that, for various reasons, wants to have all the layers on by default. Since it's all the streets in the US, some of them highlighted by size, it takes a long time to draw - in fact, mapserver often takes too long to respond, such that apache times out.

I'm trying to use the MIN/MAXSCALEDENOM to control display. The examples are not immediately helpful, since they only use a single value, and don't leave me with a sense of how "min" or "max" applies.

For example - which of these is correct if I want the layer to only appear when the map scale is lower than 1:50000 (that is, between 1:1 and 1:50000, or rather, with very small features shown)?

  LAYER
    NAME "controlled-access-fc5"
    TYPE LINE
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TILEINDEX /maps/NAVTEQ/20092FC14/USstreets.shp
    TILEITEM "LOCATION"

    CLASS
      NAME "Controlled Access FC5"
      EXPRESSION (('[FUNC_CLASS]' eq '5') and ('[CONTRACC]' eq 'Y'))
      MAXSCALEDENOM 50000
      STYLE
        SYMBOL 1
        SIZE 3
        COLOR 0 255 0
     END
    END
  END

or
