Yes. Just as you have suggested. Have a CGI wrapper script, which determines the variable's value based on hostname (or whatever), then append this (to the QUERY_STRING prior to executing mapserver. See: http://mapserver.org/cgi/wrapper.html As shown in the link below, both the CONNECTION & DA

"." is a pattern that says the string contains at least one character, it's a wild card so that's why anything matches. Granted, regex's aren't easy to use but you can accomplish a lot with very simple patterns, plus I've not seen or been presented with a better idea. Validation is (and will be

One potential way to do it would be with the use of 'include's. http://mapserver.org/mapfile/Include.html The primary mapfile wouldn't have a connection object, but it would contain: INCLUDE "connect_info.map" Then on each machine, you would have a different version of connect_info.map that co
