Configuring Apache as a Load Balancer

I am attempting to set up an Apache Load Balancer as describe in appendix A of the installation manual hoping I can utilize this as a proxy server for our DMZ. Since we are using Filr 1.0.1 in a large installation configuration, we are using NFS as shared storage and our company policy prohibits the use of NFS in a DMZ. Access Manager is not an option at this point due to licensing and project scope.

I have followed the directions in appendix A of the installation manual, utilizing SLES 11.3 and Apache 2.2.12 as the web server. I have started by utilizing just one of my Filr servers for testing purposes. I have also dropped the firewall for testing purposes on the Filr server not to over complicate things.

When I log into the new web server, I receive the error message listed below

Also listed below is the httpd config.

Looking for any ideas or suggestion, or perhaps I am totally off base on what I am attempting to accomplish...

Thanks,

Don
