Virtual Host Directory Permissions Problem

I am setting up a new virtual host and am having trouble with the root
directory. My new virtual host document root (/var/www/html/vhroot) is a
child directory of my primary host root (/var/www/html). Is it legal to
do that? When I try to access my new virtual host, I get the index from
the primary document root. TIA.

Here are my virtual host directives:

Primary

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName primary.mydomain.com:443
<Directory "/var/www/html">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

New VH

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/vhroot"
ServerName newvh.mydomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/vhroot">
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
