Andreas,

Thank you for your reply.  That seems like a good way to conserve disk space.

I have a couple concerns,  First I don't know how to set up seemliness.  
Second, I am using windows (ms4w) so I don't know if that would have an impact 
on how or if I can set up seemliness.  Did you set your seemliness up in the 
Linux OS, or under the Apache configuration?

Thanks

you configure mapcache as usual and symlink the levels for the shared zoom 
levels. MapCache creates a directory structure in the filesystem for every 
tileset like <base>/<tileset>/<grid>/<zoom_level>.

You can also create it by hand (watch for correct access rights) and then 
symlink directories from the second tileset to the first. It should look 
something like this:

# cd <base>/<tileset1>/<grid>/; ls -ld

../../<tileset1>/blanks
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache apache 3896 May 14 15:08 <base>/<tileset1>/<grid>/blanks

This construct shares levels 5-11 between tileset1 and tileset2.
