Routing a user based on their role.

[eluser]behdesign[/eluser]
I have a team-management project for a client, and I've created a series of models that inherit from an abstract 'member' model. I want to create a controller cascade where the 'member' controller checks for the type of team member it is (client, support staff - based on their userid) and reroutes the user to the appropriate controller for their home page.

Is this better accomplished in routes, or in the member controller?

Thanks!
