    See this post for web map scale:

    http://kelsocartography.com/blog/?p=2407

    Keep in mind the normal zoom levels on the web skip 1:50 million scale, but that is included as an integer rank in Natural Earth, so offset accordingly from there on.

    Then you’ll want to use properties like:

    maxResolution {Float} Default max is 360 deg / 256 px, which corresponds to zoom level 0 on gmaps.

    minResolution {Float}

    numZoomLevels {Integer}

    minScale {Float}

    maxScale {Float}

    Which are from here:

    http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer-js.html

    I haven’t done it myself, good luck and please report back.

    Ok, indeed it’s on the client side that the work has to be done. I thought (hoped) that such a configuration could be done on GeoServer but apparently not.

    Thanks.
