take care, the route is appended to the sessionid, why are you appending 
that parameter?

I would also prefer to use "node01" instead of "localhost" in fact ...

... you should add node01 as serveralias instead of node01.foo.bar (same 
name which is called from the balancer)

lbmethod is byrequest by default, you shouldn't need of it

 > ProxyPassReverse / balancer://ajpBalance/myApp/

this isn't needed and could create confusion because you're using AJP 
and not HTTP on the proxy definition

> ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain localhost foo.com

you don't need of this line if you call the machines from the balancer 
with the short name and they've both $name.foo.bar as hostname

> ProxyPassReverseCookiePath /myApp /

this should be fine

> </VirtualHost>

let us know,
I used it before frequently, but without the balancer with apache 2.0
