Indeed, a regex route would work here. I use a regex route here [
http://code.google.com/p/mz-project/source/browse/trunk/modules/modules/Bootstrap.php]
and it could parse and generate urls with any number of slashes (although I
had to disable escaping to generate urls).
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'process/path/(.+)',
array('module' => 'default', 'controller' => 'process', 'action' =>
'path'),
array('path' => 1),
'process/path/%s'
);
would probably work.
