That multiple slashes are treated as one is a feature of the
underlying filesystem. Apache gets a requests for /foo//bar, applies
the necessary translations to it, and asks the underlying OS for
<webroot>/foo//bar. It gets a document back, so all is OK from
Apache's viewpoint.
You can confirm this by doing an ls /foo/bar and ls /foo//bar wich
will give you the same output.
If you want double slashes in URLs to generate a redirect you are
probably better of using a Rewrite
For example:
RewriteRule (^.*)/{2,}(.*$) $1/$2 [R,L]
(disclaimer: This is of the top of my head, didn't actually test this...)
