add Indexes to Options here, unless you don't want index.htm(l) to be
accessible as http://your.domain.com/ or below.

Get rid of this section:  "/var/www/html" has already been defined as
DocumentRoot, so this is redundant to the above.  I think I understand
what you're getting at - you only want indexes to be available in / and
other directories where specifically enabled, but directives are
recursive, so if you have Options Indexes in <Directory /foo> then
index.html will work in http://server.com/foo/bar/ and
http://server.com/foo/bar/baz/ as well unless disabled.

Everything else looks okay to me, but Apache's picky and I could easily
be missing something.  Have you tried running 'httpd -X' and making a
few requests to see what kind of errors, if any, are thrown?

Good luck,
