Hello,

Question 1:  Limit a cached area by using a shapefile.
Does map server give us the ability to limit the extent of a cache using a 
shapefile?  I know we can set up a rectangular grid for the extent.   However, 
I would like to make sure tiles are not generated beyond the area of interest.

Question 2:  Can we or should we adjust the Google Compatible 3857 grid?
I realize I should start supporting the 3857 grid for some applications.  
However, I also don't see the need to cache the entire world.  What is the best 
approach to build a cache for a small area that is in the same tile schema that 
Google, Bing, and ArcGIS use?
*Is there a tool available to calculate the appropriate rectangular grid for an 
area of interest?
*Similar to question 1, can we limit the cached area using a shapefile?

Question 3: Are there any considerations if multiple grids use the same 
projection?
Are there any considerations if multiple grids use the same projection.  For 
example, will there be a problem if we have a cache for County A, County B, and 
County C all using the 3857 grid?  After adding the WMS layer I noticed that 
the dialog for ArcMap-->WMS Layer-->Change Coordinate System will list every 
projection configured in MapCache even if that particular projection applies to 
a different county.
*Will Mapcache work with multiple grids using the same projection?
*Am I better off setting up several mapcache aliases such as

Thank You!
