Default website of a web server by viewing by ip address

apache-2.2domain-name-system

i have a centos + webmin + virtualmin installed. The web server is hosting multiple website.

For example:
domainA.myftp.org
domainB.myftp.org
domainC.myftp.org

all domain sharing same ip address

but when i directly type the public ip address 123.123.123.123, the browser will display domainA.myftp.org

where can i set the website directory of an ip address? It this a dns or Apache virtual host or other issue? anyone knows?

As BillThor mentioned, the first host will be the default if nothing matches. And to override that and use a host other than the first, you can enter the ip address on the apache ServerAlias line, something like this:

# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *


<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/
   ServerName myhost.com
   ServerAlias 10.20.30.40
   ErrorLog logs/my-error_log
   CustomLog logs/my-access_log common
<Directory /var/www/>
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
