Steve, I've attached a portion of a mapfile with the min/max scale definitions in the layer definitions. I've done some looking through ESRI technical articles and found some issues on their end:

The underlying drawing code will respect (or at least I think it does) those values regardless of the what the client asks for. Steve >>> Travis Kirstine GIS Tech <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/31/06 12:06 PM >>> Hi All, Is there a easy way to control minscale/maxscale draws server side for a wms? We are testing a wms that serves out high res. ortho for a large area (30,000km2). We were hoping that we could control the draw with the minscale maxcale options in the layer definition in the server side mapfile. However, when testing the wms using ArcGIS 8.3, ArcGIS 9.1, uDig and ArcExplorer Web we are finding that the minscale maxscale are not consistently recognized on the client side, and if the minscale/maxscale definitions are omitted the draw times are extreme. Any ideas would be great. Travis
