If you are using something like OpenLayers under the hood, you might
just create three separate maps, one for each region. You can set the
maxextents for each map to prevent scrolling outside that area.
This way each map would have its own controls and its own div and each
could respond to events in their respective div.
This is definitely not a mapserver issue, but it is an interesting problem.

Thats what I originally thought about doing, but I don't know how I
would go about converting it to the right coordinates when the user
clicks on the map. The site I'm working on is
http://geofred.stlouisfed.org There's so many other things going on
server side to calculate the data and what not that maybe its just not
worth the effort.

Hi, I am working on a site that displays thematic data for the
United States, and I would like to include small maps for Alaska
and Hawaii in the corners of the main map, rather than having to
zoom so far out to see them. Does anyone have any suggestions
about the best way of going about doing this? Thanks.
This is really a composition problem where you need to compose a
single image from multiple separate images. The answer really
depends on what media you are using like html, pdf, etc.
If you are trying to do this in a web application I would recommend
an approach some like:
Using PHP/Mapscript, generate you three images and then use PHP GD
to compose the three images into a single image and then return that
to the browser. You can use a similar approach if you are using PDF
depending on the PDF lib you are using.
