Hi Kyle,

Take a look at LAYER SCALETOKEN - 
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html#mapfile-layer-scaletoken
and the RFC https://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-86.html#rfc86 

You should be able to add a filter directly to the DATA clause based on the 
scale that would filter the data directly at source.
