As it turns out, the biggest bug here was lack of proper documentation :-)
When trying to locate the right directory for the virtual host, tux
will actually try _two_ location - first the domainname (with any leading
"www" chopped off), and if that fails, it will look for "default" or
whatever is specified in /proc/sys/net/tux/default_vhost. If you're
using wildcard hosting, create this as an empty directory and all
requests will be forwarded to the backend (ie. Apache).

I still think just bailing out on the request,
if the directory isn't found is a big drastic though.

Cheers,
HC
