Nice. I've been a bit mystified by this myself. I thought it was based
on the first vhost parsed, and interestingly this happened to work out
enough times to make it seem reasonable (probably because the first
site on the server was mine with a domain name starting with B).
However a few times it didn't work and I never could figure out why.
