   A web application stores session state locally on the backend server that handles the request. The application does not support shared session storage. The administrator needs to ensure that all requests from the same client during a session are sent to the same server. Which load balancing method provides this persistence without requiring additional configuration on the application?

   • ALeast Connection
   • BSource IP Hash
   • CRound Robin
   • DLeast Bandwidth

   When is Round Robin the most suitable load balancing method?

   • AWhen the goal is to minimize response time
   • BWhen client sessions must be sticky to a specific service
   • CWhen services have equal capacity and similar processing times
   • DWhen services have vastly different hardware specifications

   A content delivery network uses a Citrix ADC to load balance requests across multiple cache servers. The administrator wants to maximize cache hit ratio by ensuring that requests for the same URL are always sent to the same cache server. Which load balancing method should be used?

   • ALeast Connection
   • BRound Robin
   • CURL Hash
   • DSource IP Hash

   A Citrix ADC load balances a multi-tenant application. The administrator needs to ensure that requests from the same client IP are sent to the same server for session persistence, but also wants to distribute load evenly across servers. The administrator is considering a custom load balancing method that hashes the client IP and the URL together. What is the primary benefit of this approach over using Source IP Hash alone?

   • AIt eliminates the need for a monitor, reducing configuration overhead.
   • BIt is simpler to configure than Source IP Hash.
   • CIt provides better distribution because different URLs from the same client can be sent to different servers, while still maintaining persistence for the same URL.
   • DIt ensures that all requests from the same client are sent to the same server, which is more persistent than Source IP Hash.

   What is the effect of setting a very low timeout value on a monitor?

   • AIt may cause false positives, marking healthy services as DOWN
   • BIt will increase the frequency of health checks
   • CIt will reduce the load on the load balancer
   • DIt will cause the monitor to be disabled
