Very late to this, but here is one way that might be useful, at least for a smaller application (I'm using Grails 2.0):

In conf/UrlMappings.groovy:

class UrlMappings {
  static mappings = {
    "/admin/$controller/$action?/$id?"{ constraints { // apply constraints here
      } }
    '/admin' (controller: 'yourMainController', action: 'list')
    '/' (controller: 'public', action:'index')
    // For the PublicController to handle *all* other requests (like /foo/bar/):
    // '/**' (controller: 'public', action:'index')
    "500"(view:'/error')
  }
}

Note As you can see, this i not secured in any way.
