Andrew, With MapServer, you set a tolerance value for your layer. You can combine this with a toleranceunits value to tell MapServer whether a tolerance value of 10 represents 10 pixels or 10 miles. (or other units. the default is pixels) I am assuming that you would set a tolerance value in pixels to match the size of our symbol.
Here is a URL to the docs: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html#tolerance I am sure that you can do this with GeoServer too, I just know MapServer. David.
