A Citrix Administrator adds 10 new servers and wants only them to receive twice the connections of the old servers without changing overall load balancing. What weight and target servers should be used?

• A. 2; new
• B. 2; old
• C. 50; old
• D. 50; new

Answer: (A)

In Citrix ADC, how many connections a server receives is proportional to its configured weight. To make the new servers collectively take twice as many connections as the old ones, you assign a higher weight to the new servers than to the old ones. Using a weight of 2 for the new servers and keeping the old servers at 1 achieves this ratio (if there are the same number of old servers as new ones, the new group has double the total weight, so it gets about twice the traffic). The other options either favor the old servers or over-apply weight, which isn’t needed to meet the requirement.
