[mapserver-users] Projecting like a sphere

I have a world map layer and I'm displaying it in lat/long.  I'd like to
project it so that it looks like a sphere, so that when I keep panning west
it doesn't come to "the end" of the map.  I want it to be a continuous
layer as you pan east/west and north/south. I noticed that Arcview has a
function similar to this, is it just a matter of choosing a specific type
of projection?

Any suggestions on how to do this?
