Ah ok. Some more information on your setup would be of interest. How do you build your mapbox tiles? Do you have a WMs server running? For my sins I haven't used mapbox much, and I presume you're pulling them in as a Tile layer? Passing in x,y,z params?
If I had these reqs I'd use geoserver in a heartbeat.
