Thanks to ADmad from the IRC channel for this solution:
v1.1: $Route->connect('/sub1/:controller/:action/*', array());
v1.2: Router::connect('/sub1/:controller/:action/*', array());
There are just 2 downsides to this which I am still trying to resolve:
1. How can I dynamically add in these routes so an admin can (via the
web interface) add a new sub-directory and the routing will
automatically behave properly? I tried /*/:controller/:action/* but
had no luck.
2. How can I preserve my existing custom routes without re-creating
them for each sub-directory? For instance, I have $Route->connect('/
news', array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'index')). But as
I (dynamically) add new sub-directories, I want each sub-directory to
utilize this route, too. In other words, adding a new sub-dir should
allow for /sub3/news without having to manually add it.
