An HTTP request to http://xenapp.training.lab/url1 will be processed by which virtual server according to the routing rules?

• A. The request will be sent to LB_vserver1
• B. The request will be sent to lb_vsrv_www
• C. The request will be dropped at the CS vServer
• D. The request will be sent to LB_vserver2

Answer: (A)

Routing in Citrix ADC often uses a content-switching path: an HTTP request is examined and a rule determines which backend vServer will handle it. In this scenario, the path /url1 matches a configured routing rule that directs traffic to the load-balancing vServer named LB_vserver1. The content-switching vServer acts as the selector, but the actual processing and load distribution happen on LB_vserver1. Because the rule explicitly maps /url1 to LB_vserver1, that is where the request goes. The other destinations would only be chosen if their respective URL patterns or host headers matched their rules, and a CS vServer wouldn’t necessarily drop the request unless there was no matching rule.
