Yep, Andreas is entirely right. That's how I'd do it.
Use OpenLayers' Request.GET to download the WMS server's capabilities
document. Then use Format.XML to parse the XML and get the extent of the
layer.
For convenience, you could store these as new attributes within the
Layer.WMS instance:
trafficlayer.wmsbbox = new OpenLayers.Bounds(1,2,3,4)
And call them up similarly:
<checkbox onClick="map.zoomToExtent(trafficlayer.wmsbbox)" />
