In a new post to his blog, Rob Allen takes a look a a package inside of the Zend Framework - one that allows for much more flexibility with the way your site flows.

One of the new features to hit the Zend Framework since 0.7 is Zend_Controller_ModuleRouter and its sibling Zend_Controller_ModuleRewriteRouter. This allows for separating out sets of controlers, models and views into their own modules.

He gives both a directory structure and PHP code example of it in action, both in how it normally functions (looks for a controller with the same name as the request) and an example of how he thinks it should work - complete with code and a directory structure to compare to the previous example.
