Can you point to some good TileCache examples? I've been trying to come up with a home-grown caching system, and I'd love to use one built by someone smarter than me who's already done the work...

That's normal. The mapserv binary doesn't offer a way to force the image to be dumped to disk, nor will it look for a previous identical request and reuse the image. If you want generated images to be cached, have you considered using TileCache? It does exactly what you want, I think: it acts as a WMS proxy, saves the "tile" to disk, and will regurgitate that same tile later. I use TileCache extensively on a few projects, and it is a miracle for situations where the WMS requests are very expensive. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA
