What's the DirectoryRoot?

Really, what's more common is /var/www/html (or whatever your company's
practice is, and under *that*
/var/www/html/mydomain1.com
/var/www/html/mydomain2.com
etc., with /var/www/html the overriding DirectoryRoot, but only
/var/www/html/mydomain1.com as DirectoryRoot in each of the configuration
files, /etc/httpd/conf.d/mydomain1.conf, etc.
