Try to replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 in the status url param.

Unfortunately, with the default placement strategy, cluster spread resources equally over all the nodes. You can play with utilization placement, assigning some attribute on all nodes to the number of globally-unique clone instances, and adding utilization param that_attribute=1 to CloneIP.

I raised this issue quite long ago, but it is not solved yet.

Last, you probably want to change your ClusterIP-related constraints, so its instances are allocated together with the running apache instance, not vise-versa.
