Linux Apache Folder Not Reading Without Trailing Slash

I am running apache 2.0 on CentOS 4.4 with PHP5 and mysql 5. I am wondering why the following is happening with apache:

if I goto to [url]

This does not work, it times out. But if I goto:

[url]

With the trailing slash it works. That is annoying, anyway to take care of that so it works with or without the trailing slash? Below is my httpd.conf folder and virtual host settings:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin myemail@mydomain.com

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml

<Directory "/var/www/html/">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes IncludesNOEXEC SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

AllowOverride none
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
