Short answer: you can't.  proxypass simply just proxies everything
from the one port apache httpd is running (80) to one specified in the
proxypass rule -- in this case, 8200 - so even if you were running a
mongrel cluster on 8200, 8201 and 8203, it would only proxy to the
first one, on 8200.

Hence the reason we use mod_proxy_balancer with allows you to proxy
requests from on port (80) to multiple -> 8200, 8201, 8202, etc. in an
intelligent manner (based on requests coming in).
