Hi,
you should use ogrtindex for vector files, not gdaltindex

Mapserver would serve it up, but performance was horrible.  I now have the set broken up into about 6000 separate shapefiles, but don't know how to address that in a single layer.  I tried using gdaltindex, to create a single index file that points to all the other shapefiles, but I get an error saying the shapefiles are an unsupported type.  Is there some other way to create an index that Mapserver can use to point to this many shapefiles?
