well, if there are absolutely no real files at all, then I don't think DirectoryIndex will work - mod_dir only applies DirectoryIndex when $r->filename ends up being a real directory (a $r->content_type of DIR_MAGIC_TYPE). but other than that it looks ok :)
so, if that doesn't work I might try using mod_perl to alter mod_dir's behavior to set the ct to DIR_MAGIC_TYPE when you need it (over rewriting mod_autoindex).
HTH
Yes, in order to make it work, I ended up making the handler be called /virtual/indexer, created a /virtual dir, did a global alias of /virtual to that dir, and created an empty file named indexer. DirectoryIndex said "oh hey there IS a file!", but the execution got properly handed off to mod_perl when it came time to actually call /virtual/indexer.
It's working very well now, though, thank you. :)
