First install Apache server. You can download it from http://httpd.apache.org/. For this example I have used httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8. You can get it from Apache archive.
After Apache installation complete, you might need to change the port 80 to some other port e.g 8000 if 80 port is block. You can change the port in httpd.conf file which located under conf folder.
Bellow is an example how we can use mod_proxy_balancer to provide load balancing for three back-end server. You need to add following snippet at the bottom of the htttpd.conf. Then restart the server.
Now if you open the URL http://localhost:8000 in browser, request will be forward to one of the back-end server. You can test it by looking server logs.

Listen 8000

<Proxy balancer://mycluster> BalancerMember http://localhost:9001 BalancerMember http://10.83.57.247:7001 BalancerMember http://wabothdk0544042:7001 </Proxy> ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ ProxyPassReverse / balancer://mycluster/
