Multiple load balancer using mod_proxy_balancer on httpd

Question

Understand that to use mod_proxy_balancer on httpd via ajp, configuration is as follow:

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
      BalancerMember ajp://public1.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public1
      BalancerMember ajp://public2.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public2
      ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
</Proxy>

However in my case, i need to have 2 clusters, so i'm thinking to create 2 Proxies like this:

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
  BalancerMember ajp://public1.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public1
  BalancerMember ajp://public2.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public2
  ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
</Proxy>
<Proxy balancer://my2ndcluster>
  BalancerMember ajp://public3.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public1
  BalancerMember ajp://public4.yourcompany.com:8009 route=public2
  ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
</Proxy>

However with this httpd failed to start.

Anyway for me to configure this?

Thank you

Found the issue that is not related to the proxy settings. After fixing the problem and changing the route ID as suggested, the proxy worked as expected.
