Not sure I get it - but I may have missed the back story.

Looks like you want to display a different layer (featureType) depending 
on the scale.

The current solutions are to
1) use multiple layers on the client with scale constraints, or
2) configure your server to use different data sources depending on scale.

Can you describe what is wrong with either of the solutions above?  The 
first one is particularly easy.
