Rails 4 nested route for managing HABTM relationship

I have a Client model which has a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship with the CronJob model.

Now to give a client the ability to enable/disbale a given list of crons for themselves I want to make a controler separate from the CronJobsController in app/controllers/cron_jobs_controller.rb. I want it to sit neatly namespaced under the clients folder and simply call it CronsController (app/controllers/clients/crons_controller.rb). The question is how to set up the routes file so I get these routes available to me:

Right now my routes.rb has this, which is close but not quite

resources :clients do
    namespace :clients do
        resources :crons, only: ['index'] do
          member do
            post :append
            delete :remove
          end
        end
    end
  end

which results in:

    append_client_clients_cron POST   /clients/:client_id/clients/crons/:id/append(.:format)     clients/crons#append
    remove_client_clients_cron DELETE /clients/:client_id/clients/crons/:id/remove(.:format)     clients/crons#remove
          client_clients_crons GET    /clients/:client_id/clients/crons(.:format)                clients/crons#index

The problem here is /clients/:client_id/clients/crons/ with this extra clients in the middle.

I know I could just leave the namespace out of it and would get the desired route but that would make the folder architecture quite unwieldy since there will be a number of these HABTM relationships on various models.

Alternatively is there a way I can tell the routes file to look in the clients subfolder for the crons resources?

resources :clients do
    scope module: :clients do
      resources :crons, only: ['index'] do
        member do
          post :append
          delete :remove
        end
      end
    end
  end
