One way is to setup a wildcard route that will take any route with beta and send it to an action that will then redirect you to the correct url:

routes.MapRoute(
                "Beta",  // Route name
                "beta/{*url}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Beta", action = "Index", url= UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

Then in the Beta controller do the redirect:

public ActionResult Index(string url)
{
   return Redirect("/" + url);
}
