asp.net 4.0 web forms routing - default/wildcard route

I there a simple way when using ASP.NET 4.0 routing with Web Forms to produce a route that will act as some kind of wildcard?

It seems to me that within WebForms, you have to specify a route for every page - I am looking for some kind of generic route that can be used where nothing specific is required, perhaps mapping directly from path to path so...

http://somedomain.com/folder1/folder2/page would possibly map to folder1/folder2/page.aspx

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Additionally - Keep in mind that you need to add an exception for the .axd files in your Global.asax file if there are validation controls in your web app:

Otherwise, you will keep getting a syntax error because the routing picks up the .axd files and not properly loads the JavaScript files needed for the validation controls.
