Make a good url without the index with magento

Question

The url needs to look like:

brands/Subway
brands/Mcdonalds
brands/Lego
brands/Barbie
brands/Duplo
brands/.....

How can i make this url work where the brand is a variable.

I have tried to make a module but in that case I get an url like brands/index/brands/Subway

I also don't want to make a rewrite for every brand (100+)

Answer 1

Your question was answered here. it involves creating a new router inside the brands module that handles urls that start with brands.
