Thanks Gabriel,

at last last i´ve got GWC working with custom scales!...the bit that wasn´t 
really very well documentated was the crucial last bit with the 
<wmslayers>....Now it´s working I understand the principle much better.


I am now looking at the XML schema regarding "resolutions", 
"scaleDenominators", or "levels".

I have seen now custom geowebcache.xml examples which define either levels or 
scaleDenominators. Is there a reason for this..or do all methods of defining 
map levels work equally well?

thanks again,

Rob
