   What distinguishes intelligent load balancing from simple round-robin distribution?

   • AIt distributes traffic evenly regardless of server capacity
   • BIt uses real-time server metrics and health checks to make dynamic traffic distribution decisions

   A company has two servers in a pool. Server 1 has twice the CPU and memory of Server 2. The administrator wants to ensure that Server 1 receives approximately twice as much traffic as Server 2. Which load balancing method should be configured?

   • AFastest
   • BRatio (member) with a weight of 2 for Server 1 and 1 for Server 2
   • CRound Robin
   • DLeast Connections (node)

   An administrator manages a pool of database servers. The load balancing method is set to Least Connections. The administrator wants to ensure that a server that is responding slowly is not selected for new connections, even if it has few active connections. Which additional configuration is required?

   • AConfigure the server with a higher priority group.
   • BConfigure a health monitor that checks response time and marks the server down if it exceeds a threshold.
   • CSet the load balancing method to Ratio (node) with a lower weight for the slow server.
   • DChange the load balancing method to Round Robin.

   A company has a pool of three web servers with identical specifications. The administrator wants to distribute new connections evenly across all servers, but also wants to avoid sending new connections to a server that is already handling a disproportionately high number of active sessions. Which load balancing method best meets this requirement?

   • ALeast Connections (member)
   • BRound Robin
   • CPredictive
   • DFastest
