Correct.

Yeah, it looks fine.

Yeah, because if index.html is present, it has a higher priority than 
index.php

That is unusual. You can test it on one of my 5108R VPS's:

http://5108r1.smd.net/test
http://5108r1.smd.net/test/

When you go to http://5108r1.smd.net/test without the trailing slash, the URL 
is automatically changed to http://5108r1.smd.net/test/ with the slash. That 
is the typical behaviour on 5108R - in fact on any BlueOnyx.

I think what you see there is caused by a rewrite rule. This could pretty much 
be anywhere. It can be in a .htaccess file in the sites /web directory, in a 
config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or in the site's Vhost container, which you 
find here:

/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteX
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/siteX.include

Replace the X with the sitenumber of the site in question. It could also be in 
httpd.conf or srm.conf.
