Route every request to a given controller unless another controller is specified

I'm trying to achieve the following behavior: http://example.com/anything should pass anything to a default controller (namely, "category_browser"), unless anything is a controller name.

The first part is easily achieved with this line in config/routes.php:

$route[':any'] = "category_browser";

while I did not manage to get the second one to work.

I would really appreciate any input.

Other info: the number of controllers is pretty small; writing an options line for each of them is an option; they should be passed parameters.

$route['^(?!controller|controller|controller)\S*'] = "article/$1";

create a master controller that you point everything to. in the master controller, check if the set controller name exists, if so, run it, if not, call category_browser using controller name as method instead.
