I'm cascading a remote WMS from Geoserver in order to have all layers in one place (and to exploit caching). (see the manual)

The remote layers (on this geoportal) are provided in multiple SRs (e.g. EPSG:4326 and EPSG:32632), and I get to choose which one I'd like to use when adding them directly from e.g. QGis. However, when I add the layer in GeoServer, it chooses one of the SRs without asking me which as the "Native" one (in my case, EPSG:32632)

I can get QGis to work around this by enabling on the fly reprojection, but I'd rather have the data right in the first place (in my case, EPSG:4326).

By the way, I managed to get what I wanted using the geowebcache server included with geoserver, but I'd rather use also geoserver directly – Metiu Feb 23 '12 at 17:35
I'm not clear what your issue is here - is GeoServer not reprojecting the requested images to 4326 for you when asked? or are you having a problem getting QGis to ask for the WMS data in the right projection? – iant♦ Feb 24 '12 at 11:09
I tried again just now: if I ask GeoServer to reproject native (32632) to declared (4326), for some reason the computed declared lat/long BB is expressed in meters and not degrees. This confuses QGis so it's not able to get the map. If I use geowebcache to do the reprojection or enable on-the-fly projection in QGis and keep it to the native reference system, it works. – Metiu Feb 27 '12 at 12:13
