No it's not by design. You should have been able to access the root web
with your web browser. The problem is that somehow the FrontPage client
access the wrong web. I had placed the following into the httpd.conf file:
# This Virtual Host makes it so FrontPage will display pages from the
# root web. When multiple Listen directives are specified, Frontpage
# will try to access the pages from the wrong virutal host. This fixes it.
#
#NOTE: This Virtual Host Entry must be kept as the last _default_
# virtual host entry.
#<VirtualHost _default_:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@@@HOSTNAME@@
# ServerName @@HOSTNAME@@
#</VirtualHost>
You would need to uncomment this entry before adding additional Virtual
Webs.

Was the problem with verifying usernames/passwords? Try adding:
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Indexes Options
to the VirtualHost settings for the FP admin pages.
