virtual host takes over

Hello,

I have the following problem with Apache version 2.0.53, running on
SuSE Linux 9.3:
- one default server
- one virtual host listening to www1.mydomain.com
(see httpd.conf below)

Nevertheless, ALL requests to the server are being answered by the
virtual host.
No matter how I access the server, it loads the /public_html instead of
the /loadbalance directory.
It's just like the virtual hosts becomes the default server.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
-Henric
