apache2 proxy balancer - passing server name

Question

I'm using apache2 as a local proxy balancer between the web and a jboss machine. i've used the following configuration:

<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
        BalancerMember http://localhost:8080
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /test balancer://mycluster

if i call my machine with www.mymachine.com/test then the call is passed to JBoss, but in the request it seems that it was called with 'localhost'.

how can I make sure the correct server name is passed as well?
