   A company runs a Citrix ADC load balancing a set of stateless web servers that handle short-lived API requests. The servers have identical CPU and memory, but the network team notices that some servers are consistently handling more concurrent sessions than others, causing uneven CPU utilization. The operations team wants the ADC to distribute new requests to the server currently handling the fewest active sessions. Which load balancing method should be configured on the load balancing virtual server?

   • ALeast connection
   • BLeast response time
   • CRound robin
   • DLeast bandwidth

   A large enterprise runs a Citrix ADC load balancing a pool of heterogeneous servers. The standard load balancing methods do not accurately reflect the true load on each server because the servers have different CPU, memory, and I/O capabilities. The operations team has written a custom script that calculates a load score for each server based on a weighted combination of CPU utilization, memory usage, and disk I/O. They want the ADC to use this custom score to select the least-loaded server for each new request. What must the team configure on the Citrix ADC?

   • AA least connection method with a custom connection weight
   • BA least response time method with a custom response time threshold
   • CA custom load balancing method that references the user-defined load evaluation script
   • DA URL hash method with a custom hash key

   A company runs a Citrix ADC load balancing a pool of servers that host a web application. The application does not require session persistence, but the network team wants to ensure that all traffic from the same source IP address is consistently routed to the same server, to simplify firewall logging and troubleshooting. Which load balancing method should be configured?

   • ASource IP hash
   • BURL hash
   • CLeast connection
   • DDestination IP hash

   A Citrix ADC administrator is planning the load balancing strategy for a new application. The application has two types of traffic: API requests that should be balanced by the current load on the servers, and static content requests that should be consistently routed to the same server based on the URL to improve cache hit rates. The administrator wants to use a single load balancing virtual server. What is the best approach?

   • AUse a content switching virtual server with policies that route API traffic to a least connection load balancing virtual server and static content to a URL hash load balancing virtual server
   • BConfigure the load balancing virtual server with the URL hash method and rely on the hash to balance the API traffic
   • CCreate two separate load balancing virtual servers and use DNS to route traffic to each
   • DConfigure the load balancing virtual server with the least connection method and enable URL hash as a secondary method
