DirectoryIndex Directive Ignored

I have a virtual host set up like this -:

<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xx:80>
ServerName rt.example.com
DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
PerlModule Apache2 Apache::compat
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler RT::Mason
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Request Tracker"
AuthLDAPUrl
"ldap://stpct1:389/dc=example,dc=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectCategory=pers
on)(objectClass=user)"
AuthLDAPBindDN "user"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
#AuthLDAPAuthorative off
require valid-user
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

In the root of this site is an index.html file, however it does not get
displayed from the url http://rt/ i have to manually add index.html onto the
end. Why is my DirectoryIndex directive being ignored.

And what if you remove this block completely?

I think there is "/" too much here.
