how does apache find the index for directory?

[alexroscoe]

i have the domain http://www.example.com parked over [example2.com...]

if I were to go to
http://www.example.com/test
it would transfer me to
[example2.com...]

but if were to go to
[example2.com...]
it would transfer me to
[example2.com...]

why does it switch domains? is this a bug?

This all depends on how the domain was 'parked' -- Where 'parked' is a loose term (almost to the point of being technically meaningless).

It sounds as if this 'parking' was implemented using a 301 or 302 redirect. You can check that using a server headers checker [webmasterworld.com] by requesting any of the URLs that 'change domains' and see what the response is.

If there is a redirect, the next step is to find out *where* that redirect is implemented.
