I always use admin for prefixes, so it's not been an issue.

It's because I have routes like:

// Articles
Router::connect(
'/articles/:year/:month/:day',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'year' => null,
'month' => null,
'day' => null,
),
array(
'year' => '[12][0-9]{3}',
'month' => '0[1-9]|1[012]',
'day' => '0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]',
)
);

Router::connect('/articles/:category_handle',
array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'index'),
array('category_handle' => '[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+')
);

Router::connect(
'/articles/:year/:month/:day/:handle',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action'=>'view',
'year' => null,
'month' => null,
'day' => null,
'handle' => null,
),
array(
'year' => '[12][0-9]{3}',
'month' => '0[1-9]|1[012]',
'day' => '0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]',
'handle' =>'[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+',
)
);

Router::connect(
'/articles/:year/:month/:day/:handle/photos',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action'=>'photos',
'year' => null,
'month' => null,
'day' => null,
'handle' => null
),
array(
'year' => '[12][0-9]{3}',
'month' => '0[1-9]|1[012]',
'day' => '0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]',
'handle' =>'[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+',
)
);

Router::connect(
'/articles/:year/:month/:day/:handle/photos/:photo_handle',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action'=>'photo',
'year' => null,
'month' => null,
'day' => null,
'handle' => null,
'photo_handle' => null
),
array(
'year' => '[12][0-9]{3}',
'month' => '0[1-9]|1[012]',
'day' => '0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01]',
'handle' =>'[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+',
'photo_handle' => '[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+',
)
);

Got an example Andy?

I'm effectively trying to do:

Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'view'));

without removing all my other controller's routes.
