asp.net mvc - Omit controller name from URL mvc

Question

I'm looking to do something similar to this post:

How to hide controller name in Url?

only without any sort of ID.

The server is running IIS 6 and the pages already show up without extensions so it's not a wildcard issue.

I'm looking to hit http://website.com/action-name

I have http://website.com/controller/action-name working

I'm assuming this is just a simple routing change that I am somehow goofing up. My current routing rule is:

routes.MapRoute(
    "RouteName",
"{action}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);

Answer 1

Is your new routing rule positioned above the default routing rule of {controller, action, id} so that it has the opportunity to match first?
