You can define a "default" method in your Root controller. Something  
like:


class Root(RootController):
	class default(self, *args, **kw):
		args = list(args)
		try:
			atom = args.pop(0)
		except KeyError:
			raise cherrypy.NotFound
		if atom == "opt_out.php":
			return self.aliased_method(*args, **kw)
		raise cherrypy.NotFound

HTH,
