You can put all your virtual hosts in the one default file included or
break them up by site.  I like to have each vhost in it's own file.

I'm not entirely sure how Apache decides on the default site but since
the symlink for the default is "000-default" I'm assuming it assigns
based on the first file found.  Of course my assumptions often end up
being wrong :)  Perhaps it also looks for "NameVirtualHost?"
