Hi,

I have the followed Rails 3 routes:

```
Hello::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :blogs do
    resources :articles do
      resources :comments
    end
  end
end

```

By raking them, we can find (for instance):

```
GET /blogs/:blog_id/articles(.:format) {:action=>"index",

```

:controller=\>“articles”}

Because every routes begin with the same root path (_/blogs_), I would  
like to shorten addresses by removing it (when :blog\_id is given).

In this why, I could have thoses routes (I think it’s more DRY):

```
GET /:blog_id/articles(.:format) {:action=>"index",

```

:controller=\>“articles”}

According to you, what kind of change I should make over my current  
routes configuration?

Thanks.
