For what it's worth you can declare any class in any file - however if
you don't put classes where rails expects to find them then it won't
be able to magically load them for you

The routing bit and the class loading bit aren't really related (in
that it doesn't matter what routes exist, when automatically requiring
a file for you rails wants known_ips_controller.rb to define
KnownIpsController)
