How do you handle a variable number of MVC routes?

I note this intriguing bit in ASP.NET MVC:

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

I'd like to map {*pathInfo} into a route.

Something like:

routes.MapRoute(
  "area/{*pathInfo}",
   "{controller}/{action}/{id}",parameters
   new { controller = "Area", action = "Index", id = ??? } 
);

but how do I pass in the variable "foo/bar/rab/oof" from mydomain.com/area/foo/bar/rab/oof? Either passing the entire bit as a string or as a collection would be fine with me.

Thanks!

Which MVC version are you using? The route name should be the first parameter to MapRoute() as I remember in MCV Beta. Anyway, given your goal of capturing the path, I would do s/t like:

routes.MapRoute("AreaRoute", "Area/{*values}", new {controller = "Area", action = "Index"}       );

And in the Area controller:

// "value" argument is the string after Area/, i.e. "foo/bar/rab/oof" in your example
public string Index(string values)  
{  
  ...
}
