Hi

use <Proxy balancer://idm> and it should work better ;-)

from my personal experience, my advice is to use the <Proxy> object as a pure
substitution for {protocol://host:port}, and nothing more.

<Proxy balancer://foo>
    # do not add a trailing '/' after IP:PORT  (do not add a path, too)
    BalancerMember       http://127.0.0.1:1234
    BalancerMember       http://127.0.0.1:2345
</Proxy>

this view allows to clarify the substitution which is made by
mod_proxy_balancer, by keeping equivalent things together:
 - level: substitute protocol://host:port (balancer's job)
    * balancer://foo  --->  http://127.0.0.1:1234
 - level: substitute request path  (ProxyPass' job)
    * balancer://foo/path1  -->  http://127.0.0.1:1234/path2

I found this logic to be a safe method to avoid the famous "double /"
side-effect that you get when you want to "ProxyPass /"...
