Which statement describes the effect of the Responder policy bound to a vserver with type REQUEST?

• A. Response originated from host.example.net redirected to host1.example.com.
• B. Request originated from host.example.net redirected to host1.example.com.
• C. Response originated from host1.example.net redirected to host.example.com.
• D. Request originated from host1.example.net redirected to host.example.com.

Answer: (D)

A Responder policy bound to a vserver with type REQUEST acts on the inbound client request and can issue a redirect to a different URL or host. Because it processes the request, not the response, the policy can instruct the client to go to a new destination. So if the policy redirects to host.example.com, the request that originated from host1.example.net is redirected to host.example.com. This is why the correct description is that the request from host1.example.net is redirected to host.example.com. The other scenarios involve responses or different origins, which would be associated with a policy bound to type RESPONSE rather than REQUEST.
