Selected Answers: A


Multiple Pools and Services: Because multiple virtual servers and pools reference the same underlying backend servers, a pool member-level load balancing method would only track connections for its specific pool and remain blind to traffic hitting other services or pools on that same server. Node-Level Tracking: To ensure an equal number of total connections on each physical backend server, you must use a Node-level algorithm. Least Connections (node) evaluates the connection load across all pools sharing those nodes, making it the most appropriate choice
