After this line, add the following code:

if( isset($request->get["route"]) && $request->get["route"] == "feed/neoseo_fast_sitemap" ) {

if (!$seo_type = $config->get('config_seo_url_type')) {

$seo_type = 'seo_url';

$seoFile = DIR_APPLICATION . 'controller/common/' . str_replace(array('../', '..', '..'), '', $seo_type ) . '.php';

require_once($seoFile);

$seoClass = 'ControllerCommon' . preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', '', $seo_type);

$seoController = new $seoClass($registry);

$url->addRewrite($seoController);

$action = new Action($request->get['route']);
