I've used DXF with GeoMoose. Likely your version of Mapserver
has the capabilities built in. Try something like I did by
setting up a mapserver mapsource with a map file containing a
layer definition like:<br>
<br>
<tt> LAYER </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> NAME 'Alberta'</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> STATUS on</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> TYPE LINE</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> CONNECTIONTYPE OGR</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> CONNECTION 'T:\GeoData\Parcels\Alberta\brooks.dxf' #
entities'</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> PROJECTION</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> 'init=epsg:3403'</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> END</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> STYLEITEM 'AUTO'</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> CLASS</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> NAME 'Rural DXF' </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> END</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> END</tt><br>
<br>
Typical problems relate to the coordinates stored in the DXF files
(sometimes "local" coordinate systems are used).<br>
