As I understand it .... if apache finds any virtual host definition not to
it's liking and can't work out what to do it defaults to the first
definition ie your first site. I found that the default definition - the
part of httpd.conf outside the virtual host definition - was not always
applied as I thought it should be. The answer was to define an additional
virtual host corresponding to the default.
<VirtualHost w.x.y.com>
Port 80
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/
</VirtualHost>
