And what is strange here? Apache recognized www.mydomain.com as an alias fo a sort and
issued a redirect to what he considered to be the real URL.

Yup.

Of course not. If you type http://www.mydomain.com/ you shouldn't see redirection.
You're getting redirected because of that last slash in the URL and it is normal for
Apache and web servers in general.

And have you defined multiple VirtualHost-s? Of course you haven't. Read Apache docs
on Virtual Hosts.
Nix.
