That makes sense to me. It wouldn't hurt to update
\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\ignored-libmap\sde9.1\README-sde.txt
To mention the 9.2 DLL and possible remove the 9.1 reference from the
folder name.
Thanks for all your help,
Josh

No, the 9.1 ArcSDE SDK dlls are not sufficient to connect to 9.2 with
the 9.2 plugin. The plugins are linked against each specific
version of the ArcSDE SDK and have to be matched. The use of plugins
makes this less obnoxious than it was in the past, which required
swapping out the entire libmap.dll, but it is still some hassle.
The rules for ArcSDE MapServer connections are as follows:
- If you have to connect to both ArcSDE X.1 and X.2 servers, use the
X.2 version of the ArcSDE SDK. You can usually connect to a X.1
version server with X.2 version client DLLs without ill effect.
- To connect to X.2 servers, you *have* to use X.2 versions of the
ArcSDE SDK.
- Do not use both the X.1 and X.2 versions of the plugins in the same
MapServer map if you have to connect to both X.1 and X.2 version
servers. Just use X.2.
