If you can manage to recompile the APR library used by your Apache 2.4 (you probably did that already since 2.4 does not seem to be the version packaged with RHEL 6.4), you can use "./configure --enable-posix-shm ..." to use another shared memory mechanism than the default one (IPC SysV) which is limited to 32K segments (system wide). The number of segments would then be limited by the usual number of file descriptors per process (ulimit -n).
Unfortunately, there no equivalent to the Mutex directive for shared memories, this can't be changed by httpd's configuration (as far as I know).

How many VirtualHost(s) do you use in your configuration? Also, how do you declare the balancer(s), in each VirtualHost or in the main section using BalancerInherit on? > > Do i really have to increase the memory segment on my system in huge > proportion to handle all my proxy_balancers ? The number of IPC SysV shared-memory segments is limited to 32768 on linux (system wide), and you are already above with 100 * 350, so you would need to use another SHM mechanism. Unfortunately, there no equivalent to the Mutex directive for shared memories, AFAIK this can't be changed by httpd's configuration. So you would have to recompile the APR library used by your Apache 2.4 (you probably did that already since RHEL 6.4 does not seem to package 2.4 by default), and do for example "./configure --enable-posix-shm ..." to use another shared-memory mechanism. The number of segments would then be limited by the usual number of file descriptors per process (ulimit -n). However 350 shm per balancer looks weird to me, your configuration may do something not optimal...
