Proxy load balancer and (a)synchronous I/O for httpd

Im configuring the apache httpd server in front of a farm of cometd servers. The clients interact with the cometd server through long polling connections.
Does the httpd server still use a thread-per-request model? In my usecase this means that a thread per client will be "active". http://cometd.org/node/81

Im trying to configure the proxy_balancer, but still having problems. Here is my configuration:

BalancerMember http://172.16.14.81:80 
retry=120 
timeout=10 

BalancerMember http://172.16.14.82:80 
retry=1 
timeout=10 
status=+H

But when The first worker fails, request are not redirected to the failover worker. For this I have to wait for more than 7 minutes. Is this behavior normal?

In my apache configuration, I am using a scripting language (tcl through apache rivet) which implements a "heavy" application, something that takes some minutes to start when apache starts a new process.

Is there a way to "separate" these "heavy" apache processes from the rest of the apache?

I.e. when the url is "/my_heavy_service" redirect the request to the apache which has the "heavy" application loaded, and the rest of the requests be handled by an apache with does not even has mod_rivet loaded?

Like starting an apache on a different port (i.e. 8123), which loads my application, and starting a "normal" apache on port 80, which serves all requests except some, which are directed to the server in port 8123.

In general I think it can be done (i.e.: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RunningMultipleApacheInstances),
but is a way to do this in fedora 19, and keep all this "systemctl * httpd" stuff?

Has anyone attempted this?

I have the following modules installed on my linux computer:

openldap-2.2.13-12.el4_8.2 
nss_ldap-253-7.el4 

According to the documentation Apache can work with more than one LDAP module:
