I'm looking at MapServer to accomplish the following tasks:
    1.  Query a shape file off an attribute && a spatial distance 
- i.e.  select * from shapefile where coordinates are within 500 
units of (select coordiantes from shapefile where id = 'user 
entered id' )

    2.  Genearate a new map based on the results of 1.  
Displaying the new map on the web with the polygon of 'user 
entered id' in the colored in the middle of the map and all other 
polygons selected in 1 displayed (zoom and pan features)  This is 
basically polygon outline map - with one polygon highlighed.

Generate and display Map  -- the map is now an image map on the 
web.

3.  User sees the new map, and they click on a another polygon -- 
resolve the polygon's id and call another url with that id, i.e 
redirect page to www/cgi-bin/get_table?id=clicked_id.

Questions:
Can this be accomplished with mapserver?
Is this a mapserver or mapscript type of application (there are 
two distinct applications here)?
Any example sites/code would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
