Federico,

503 would be due to a node being not responsive, you can configure your cluster 
to disable a node after one or more failures with mod_cluster. now back to 
mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy, if i understand correctly, you have a 
scenario where you have one or more contexts served by all of the nodes in the 
cluster, and another context served only by some nodes, i.e.:

Node1 => /foo,/bar
Node2 => /foo
Node3 => /foo,/bar

you want /foo to be served  by all of the nodes, and /bar just by Node1, and 
have Node3 as a hot standby (failover), if that is the case, you would probably 
need multiple load balancers defined with two different location blocks, so 
something like this:

<proxy balancer://foocluster>
    BalancerMember http://node1:8080
    BalancerMember http://node2:8080
    BalancerMember http://node3:8080
</proxy>

<proxy balancer://barcluster>
    BalancerMember http://node1:8080
    # the hot standby on node3
    BalancerMember http://node3:8080 status=+H
</proxy>

<location /foo>
    ProxyPass           balancer://foocluster
    ProxyPassReverse    http://node1:8080
    ProxyPassReverse    http://node2:8080
    ProxyPassReverse    http://node3:8080
</location>

<location /bar>
    ProxyPass           balancer://barcluster
    ProxyPassReverse    http://node1:8080
    ProxyPassReverse    http://node3:8080
</location>

i haven’t tested above configuration.
