Routing issue with named params

Hi,

We have several mobile apps that use the url structure /api/[search|facets]/type:[bar|foo|ra|sim].  

In a previous version this was simple to route  /:controller/:action/*  

This got to be unwieldy because of the amount of processing it took to retrieve information for the different types.

In our migration to cake 2.x, our new structure is bar extends api, foo extends api, ra extends api, etc.

This has worked really well, letting us extract the functions for foo into it's own controller, etc.

The problem is routing this.  I can't figure out how to route the controllers based on the named param 'type'.

Is there any way to extract the named param 'type', and pass that value into :controller using standard cake routing, or will I have to go to a custom route extension, similar to the :slugs example?

Thanks for looking at this!

Lee
