[users@httpd] Issues with proxying and subfolders

I currently have two physical servers on my network. I am using two different hostnames which both resolve to the same ip address. The main server properly proxies up data from the other server, unless the data is in a subfolder. It doesn't matter what is in the subfolder (html, gif, or jpeg), it is shown. I can get to the data by typing in the internal IP address of the secondary server and then the subfolders, but not by using it's domain name. Here is the virtual host definitions from httpd.conf on the main server (I've change only the domain names):

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName main.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs
UserDir disabled root
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ProxyPreserveHost On
ServerName secondary.com
ProxyPass / http://10.1.0.2/
ProxyPassReverse / http://10.1.0.2/
</VirtualHost>

If I point port 80 at the secondary server, all the subfolders are visible, no problems. The secondary server is my production server, and I don't want to take it down in order to add mod_proxy. Both server are running SuSe Linux 9.3. The main server is running Apache 2.0.54 with mod_proxy turned on. The secondary server is running the Apache 2.0.50 binary that came with SuSe 9.2. Is there a setting that I missed in the virtualhost definition?
