 This is basically a dirty hack :) I have no idea if messing with the default OSX apache config this way is frowned upon. My view is that it works now, and if it breaks I'll fix it.

 Add any domains you want to blacklist to /etc/hosts, pointing at 127.0.0.1. You need to enable web sharing to get apache running of course.

 Changes to the default /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
 ==============================================

 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 # so that the world can't see the list

 DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents/public" # to fit in with passenger, you need to create the public dir (and maybe /tmp too)

 # add /public here too, and no multiviews (as per passenger docs)
 <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/public">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
 </Directory>

 New file /etc/apache2/other/passenger.conf
 ==========================================

 # This is basicaly what gets output by the passenger install + the PassengerDefaultUser root line

 LoadModule passenger_module /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
 PassengerRoot /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8
 PassengerRuby /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby
 PassengerDefaultUser root

 New file /Library/WebServer/Documents/config.ru

 require 'appscript'

 require 'todo_app'

 run Sinatra::Application

 New file /Library/WebServer/Document/todo_app.rb
