You can do that with route globbing in rails, It lets you match any action to any part of a route using wildcards.

To catch all remaining routes, just define a low priority route mapping as the last route in config/routes.rb:

In Rails 2: map.connect "*path", :controller => 'error', :action => 'handle404'

params[:path] will contain the matching part.
