[users@httpd] Password protect all but one directory

I want to password protect my entire site, except for one URL (which is needed
for a load balancer health check).  I've done this:

<Location />
  AuthType Digest
  AuthName "password protected"
  AuthUserFile /srv/passwd.digest
  Require valid-user
</Location>

<Location /ping>
   Satisfy any
   Allow from all
</Location>


It doesn't work.  Requests for /ping are still requiring password authentication.

Is there a way to make this work?

<LocationMatch ^(?!/ping)
  AuthType Digest
  AuthName "password protected"
  AuthUserFile /srv/passwd.digest
  Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>
