Sounds like a job for Superman, er, I mean, a custom route. Maybe
something like:

match ':client(/:controller(/:action(/:id(.:format))))'

based on the old wildcard router (adding :client at the front). Note
that, as advised in the modern default route.cfg files, this will make
ALL your controllers and actions accessible via GET! If you're OK
with that, go for it. Also depending on how the rest of your normal
routes look (in particular whether you're using nested resources,
renamed routes, etc.), you may need more such lines, which could get
to be a pain.

If you decide to try it, let me know how it works. :-)
