Load Testing Through Load Balancer for Clustering

I'm trying to load test a jboss cluster using soapUI.  Making calls directly to an app server in the cluster works fine.  However, when I make a call to the load balancer in front of the cluster, my request spins and doesn't return.  The specific load balancer I'm using is mod_jk from Apache. 

Has anybody else used a scenario similar to this?  Is there a reason that running through the balancer would cause soap UI fits?

    Hi Aaron,

    hmm.. are you getting any reply at all from the load-balancer? What do you get in the HTTP log for your request?

    My access.log file shows that I'm posting the correct webservice.  The log specifically says

    [date]"POST /webservices/CategoryWebServices HTTP/1.1"401 1113
    [date]"POST /webservices/CategoryWebServices HTTP/1.1" 400 -
