This will make the second route work, but will break the first one: routes.MapRoute( name: "Book", url: "books/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "users", action = "Details" } ); How to combine the two

I need to provide following functionality for one of the web sites. http://www.example.com/ [sponsor] /{controller}/{action} Depending on the [sponsor], the web page has to be customized.
