Dear Oliver Christen,
Using Mapserver 5.6.0 and AGG rendering, you can achieve what
you want by using a combination of ellipse size and gap size
in the symbol definition.
There is something strange in the calculations (a gap of
about half the ellipse size seems to produce touching symbols),

If Thomas B. agrees, I think it would be reasonable to also
open a bug on the gap calculation.
In my opinion, since the word gap is used, the correct
way to specify a symbol with ellipses that has the same
gap between them as the diameter of the ellipses should be
as follows:
symbol
name dots
).
Something seems to be wrong when the GAP is close to
half the diameter specified in POINTS - some of the gaps
will be as expected, while others are larger (closer to the
actual number specified in GAP).

To display simple lines (in the latest versions of
