You actually probably want to use the RewriteRouter in a situation like
this, instead of jumping through the hoops you detail. I'd suggest the
following:
// news controller for basic viewing, searching, navigating of news
class NewsController extends Zend_Action_Controller {}
// NewsAdmin controller extends news controller to add admin actions
class NewsAdminController extends NewsController {}
// Create routes for admin:
$route->add(
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'news-admin',
'/admin/news/:action/id/:id',
array('controller' => 'news-admin') // gets deconstructed to
NewsAdmin by router
)
);
