What is the effect of set cs vServer vServer-CS-1 -redirectURL http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/ when the vServer is DOWN?

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

Answer: (B)

Redirecting behavior is defined for when the content-switching vServer cannot reach its backend. Setting a redirect URL means the ADC will send clients to that URL whenever the vServer is DOWN, instead of failing to resolve the request. So, when vServer-CS-1 is DOWN, every request aimed at it is redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/mysite/, providing a maintenance or external page to users. This redirection only happens while the vServer is unavailable; if the vServer comes back up, traffic would go to the backend again.
