You should not create a route to handle that. The error controller will take care of all three kinds of the following errors:

  • Controller does not exist
  • Action does not exsist
  • No route matched

Take a look at the documentation on how to use it correctly:

I found only the way - not to add route in case current request is about admin area

$request = $frontController->getRequest();               

if (!preg_match('/knownController/', $request->getRequestUri())){
    $router->addRoute('index', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex('(.*)', array('controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'index')));  
}

You can also use the ErrorController to do a similar thing. Maybe if you dig into the way they implement the plugin it will help you build something that meets your needs closely?
