[Mapserver-users] Reloading WMS layers - timing question

[tjmitchell@riverside.bc.ca (Tyler Mitchell)]

I'm getting slightly confused by some WMS layer behaviour.
I've got numerous layers, one of which is wms (see map file snippits 
below).
The wms layer usually loads up within 4-5 seconds.  But I'm finding when I 
turn on other layers or zoom in while other layers are drawing, the wms 
layer doesn't appear.  There is also no time lag, so I know it's not even 
trying wms.  But if I request a redraw, it usually (not always) draws the 
wms layer then.

Is there something wrong with the format of my layer in the map file?
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Tyler
