It's not just the admin routes I'm having problems with. Perhaps that
wasn't the best example. In any case, I've seen several examples where
the path does not conform to Cake's "/controller/action' paradigm and
a route is created to point to the correct controller. My problem is
that this appears to only work some of the time. And I cannot figure
out why it works when it does.

I've purposely not made them simple, as that actually makes things
less convenient. I'm fine with spelling out a few extra routes. I need
to be able to use, eg.
/islandnews/2008-10

... among other things. That particular one works in some situations,
other times, not so much.

Basically, my question is, what's up with this reverse routing I keep
reading about? Either it doesn't work as advertised, or I'm doing
something wrong (and I expect it's the latter).
