A company runs a web application on a pool of five servers. The administrator wants to ensure that the application remains available even if two servers fail simultaneously. The load balancing method is Round Robin. What is the minimum configuration required to achieve this?

Configure a priority group so that the remaining servers are promoted when others fail.

Configure the load balancing method to Least Connections to handle the failure more gracefully.

Configure a connection limit on each server to prevent overload when others fail.

Configure a health monitor on the pool so that failed servers are automatically removed from rotation.

Which data source would an intelligent load balancer most likely use to decide which server should receive the next request?

The physical location of the client's ISP

The historical number of requests each server handled last week

The server's IP address in alphabetical order

Real-time server metrics such as current connection count and CPU utilization
