Funciona basicamente - mas parece ser impossível usar o alvo loadbalancer dentro de um bloco proxy - portanto, link deve ser usado.
<Proxy balancer://Group1>
ProxySet failonstatus=503
BalancerMember ajp://destination1 route=core1 ping=10
BalancerMember ajp://destination4 route=core1 ping=10 status=+H
</Proxy>
<Proxy balancer://Group2>
ProxySet failonstatus=503
BalancerMember ajp://destination2 route=core2 ping=10
BalancerMember ajp://destination5 route=core2 ping=10 status=+H
</Proxy>
<Proxy balancer://Group3>
ProxySet failonstatus=503
BalancerMember ajp://destination3 route=core3 ping=10
BalancerMember ajp://destination6 route=core3 ping=10 status=+H
</Proxy>
<Proxy balancer://loadbalancing>
