When you are using ngModules and RC5, the routing configuration of your parent module does not need to know anything about the child modules routing. You only have to define the routes for your parent module here. Furthermore you have to import the child module into your parent module. In the child module you have to define your routes this way:

export const childRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'someChild',
      component: SomeChildComponent,
      children: [
        { path: '', component: SomeChildSubComponent1 },
        { path: 'comp1', component: SomeChildSubComponent1 },
        { path: 'comp2', component: SomeChildSubComponent2 }
      ]
  }
];

This will let you have a url like /someParent/someChild/comp1 - and the components are displayed in their corresponding router-outlet. Please note: You HAVE TO declace a component for the empty path. Otherwise you are not able to navigate to you children.
