In a content switching setup, which policy should be bound to the vServer to correctly route requests when the primary server is selected?

• A. Bind Policy CS_Pol_1 with priority 110
• B. Bind Policy CS_Pol_2 with priority 120
• C. Bind Policy CS_Pol_3 with priority 100
• D. Bind Policy CS_Pol_4 with priority 100

Answer: (C)

Content switching decisions on a vServer are made by evaluating the bound policies in a defined order: the first policy whose expression matches wins and directs the traffic. To route requests correctly when the primary server is chosen, you want the policy that handles the primary-path routing to be evaluated first. Binding the CS_Pol_3 policy with the highest precedence ensures that, as soon as the primary condition is met, this policy executes and sends the request to the primary server. The other policies, with lower precedence, will only be evaluated if the primary-path policy doesn’t match, which could lead to undesired routing when the primary is available. So CS_Pol_3 bound with the top precedence is the right choice.
