Steve,

Thank you for your reply.  I had also thought about configuring the caches at 
the client level as you suggest.  Unfortunately, I do not have control over all 
of the potential clients as some outside users might connect to my services via 
Leaflet, OpenLayers, ArcMap, QGIS, etc.  It sounds like my best option is to 
swap caches as you suggest (the political cache will only have 4 zoom levels), 
and hope outside users either repeat the same process or only use the air photo 
cache.

Thanks!
Sincerely,
Mark Volz

That seems more like a client configuration issue to me. That is, you'd have 
the two caches (air photos and political) but then configure the client to swap 
at different zoom levels. For example, with Leaflet you could simply set 
maxZoom/minZoom map attributes. Here's an example that uses a map (1 tileset) 
at small scales and then transitions to aerial photos w/overlays (2 tilesets) 
as the user zooms in:

Presumably you can tell MapCache to only generate tiles over certain zoom 
ranges for each tileset - thus reducing disk space. Perhaps I'm miss 
interpreting your question though. --Steve

Hello,

I have two similar tilesets configured in Mapcache.  One of the tilesets 
displays a political map at small scales, then changes to an air photo map as 
the user zooms into the map.  The second tileset displays air photos at every 
zoom level.  It would be useful if these tilesets could share a single cache 
for zoom levels 5-11.  This way we could save a significant amount of space on 
the server.

Example #1:
Political and Air Photo Basemap:

•         Zoom level 0-4:  Use the cache from the “political map cache”

•         Zoom level 5-11: Use the cache from the “air photo cache”
Air Photo Basemap

•         Zoom level 0-11:  Use the cache from the “air photo cache”
Result:

•         Any tiles at level 5-11, which will take up the majority of the space 
on the sever will not need to be duplicated between the two tilesets.

Please let me know if it is possible to share caches between different tilesets.

Thanks!
