If you're using ASP.NET MVC, use IgnoreRoutes (MVC Extension method)

Routes.IgnoreRoute("{*foo*}", new { foo = @"someregextoignorewhatyouwant"});

If you're using ASP.NET Web Forms, use StopRoutingHandler which implements IRouteHandler.

routes.Add(new Route("*someregextoignorewhatyouwant*", new StopRoutingHandler()));
