Passing URL Parameters to Default Control With _Remap

[eluser]craig.hoog[/eluser]
I know this defeats alot of the purpose of using CodeIgniter, but I really want to use the framework for the project I have.

Unfortunately the project requires URL parameters to be passed immediately after the base URL.

In Example: www.example.com/john.casey - Where John.Casey is the parameter being passed in.

Is it possible to do this?
I have tried adding a remap to the default controller, but it obviously looks for the john.casey controller when you navigate to that URL.

Thanks in advance,

Craig
