Help with routes

[eluser]louis w[/eluser]
This is what I have in my routes files:

Code:

$route['admin/(.*)']     = "admin/$1";
$route['(.*)']        = "page/$1";

I want my site to forward any requests besides ones to /admin/ANYTHING to the page controller.

/admin/ would go to /admin/
/about/ would go to /page/about/

etc.

The second part works, but if i go to /admin/ it does not forward to the admin controller. If i take off the two routes /admin does work.
