One thing I did in the past was to have style with just labels and have these layers be un-tiled, dynamic WMS. Yes, they show later, but users normally do not complain because the rest of the map can be there real quick if you have tilecaching enabled Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
