Hi Mauro,
I tried it, and seems to work fine, but I didn't try anything complicated.

Subject: [Geoserver-devel] WFS DXF OutputFormat community module proposal

> We have developed a WFSOutputFormat to write DXF (plain or zipped) in
> response to a GetFeature request.
> If anyone is interested in it, we would like to commit it as a community
> module.
>
> Some features from the README:
> ========================================================
> There have been multiple revisions of the format, so we need to choose a
> "version"
> of DXF to write. The extension implements version 14, but can be easily
> extended
> (through SPI providers) to write other versions too.
>
> Each single query is rendered as a layer. Geometries are encoded as
> entities (if simple enough to be expressed by a single DXF geometry
> type) or blocks (if complex, such as polygons with holes or collections).
>
> Some options are available to control the output generated. They are
> described in the following paragraphs.
>
> GET requests format_options
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> The following format_options are supported:
> 1) version: (number) creates a DXF in the specified version format
> 2) asblock: (true/false) if true, all geometries are written as blocks
> and then inserted as entities. If false, simple geometries are directly
> written as entities.
> 3) colors: (comma delimited list of numbers): colors to be used for the
> DXF layers, in sequence. If layers are more than the specified colors, 
> they
> will be reused many times. A set of default colors is used if the option 
> is
> not used. Colors are AutoCad color numbers (7=white, etc.).
> 4) ltypes: (comma delimited list of line type descriptors): line types
> to be used for the DXF layers, in sequence. If layers are more than
> the specified line types, they will be reused many times. If not 
> specified,
> all layers will be given a solid, continuous line type. A descriptor
> has the following format: <name>!<repeatable pattern>[!<base length>],
> where
> <name> is the name assigned to the line type, <base length> (optional)
> is a real number that tells how long is each part of the line pattern
> (defaults to 0.125), and <repeatable pattern> is a visual description
> of the repeatable part of the line pattern, as a sequence of - (solid 
> line),
> * (dot) and _ (empty space). For example a dash-dot pattern would be
> expressed
> as --_*_.
> 5) layers: (comma delimited list of strings) names to be assigned to
> the DXF layers. If specified, must contain a name for each requested
> query. By default a standard name will be assigned to layers.
>
> POST options
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Unfortunately, it's not currently possibile to use format_options in POST
> requests. The only thing we chose to implement is the layers options, via
> the handle attribute of Query attributes. So, if specified, the layer
> of a Query will be named as its handle attribute.
> The handle attribute of the GetFeature tag can also be used to override
> the name of the file produced.
