I want to build a ASP.NET MVC site so that the controller for a specific url is stored in the database instead of the URL.

The reason for that is that i’m building a CMS system and the users should be able to change the template (controller) without changing the URL. I also think that the name of the controller is not relevant for the end users and i want clean URL:s.

I realise that i could just add all routes at application start, but for a system with like 100 000 pages it feels like a bad idea.

Is it possible to store the url:s in the database and make a lookup for each request and then map that request to a specific controller?
