In ASP.net MVC 2, I can use routes.RouteExistingFiles = true; to send all requests through the routing system, even if they exist on the file system.
Usually, this ends up hitting the "{controller}/{action}/{id}" route and throws an exception as the controller cannot be found.
I do not want to use that route though (I have only a few URLs and they are specifically mapped), yet I would still like to prevent access to the file system.
Basically I want to Whitelist pages using IgnoreRoute. Is there a built-in way to do this? My current approach is to still have the "{controller}/{action}/{id}" route and generate a 404 when this is hit, but I'm just wondering if something is built-in already?
