My understanding is apache will use the default virtual host for the server if it can't find a defined DirectoryIndex file.

I have a couple other virtual domains on this server, including a couple that are using SSL on port 443, that use index.html and index.tpl and default.tpl DirectoryIndex files and they are working fine.
