When you say "tile", are we talking about conventional WMS or WMS-C? If you mean conventional WMS, where a bounding box request is sent to a server that composes an image for the area, these kind of requests cannot be cached with Squid, etc. I don't have much experience with WMS-C, but with my understanding of how it works, it should work with conventional HTTP caching software like Squid, etc. You may want to look at Tilecache[1]. It can cache conventional WMS requests and serve up that cache as WMS-C server/TMS, provided the app you're using supports those. http://www.tilecache.org/ -- Samat K Jain <http://samat.org/> | GPG: 0x4A456FBA I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. -- Galileo Galilei (263)
