I'm a little fuzzy on your use of terminology (poor English teachers 
;).  If you mean given access through the <DIRECTORY> tag, yeah, access is 
given to /, /home/httpd/html and also sometimes 
/home/httpd/other-domain.  I mention sometimes, because, when I do that, 
other-domain/index.html replaces my html/index.html.  It's very weird.

They are.

My current setup (without virtualhosts) results in the amber.com.au index 
file being shown when I use the www.otherdomain.com address.  So I doubt 
it.  But it is technically possible.

I edited for brevity.  I've used with and without serveralias.  Same result.
