[Mapserver-west] Pull Data From Separate Server

[Ken Lord]

Hi Luke,

One way would be to setup mapserver, or geoserver on another server as
a WMS host, and add the data to your existing website as a WMS layer.

You could do that as an intranet site from another computer on your
network which will have the benefit of being much more responsive to
your web-server than if it is hosted over the internet.

Cheers,
