What condition triggers the redirect URL configured with set cs vServer vServer-CS-1 -redirectURL http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/?

• A. All the requests to vServer-CS-1 will be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/.
• B. If the status of vServer-CS-1 is DOWN, then users will be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/.
• C. All the requests without URL path/mysite/ will be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/.
• D. If the vServer-CS-1 encounters a high connection rate, then users will be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/.

Answer: (B)

The redirectURL on a content switching vServer acts as a fallback target when the vServer cannot service requests. In this setup, the command assigns a specific URL to redirect to if the content switching vServer becomes unavailable. Therefore, the condition that triggers the redirect is when the vServer-CS-1 goes DOWN; in that case, clients are redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/. The redirect is not unconditional, not tied to a particular path, and not triggered by metrics like a high connection rate, so those other scenarios don’t fit how this parameter works.
