In content switching for GSLB service selection, which statement describes a necessary step to designate a target vServer?

• A. Bind the domain to the CS vServer instead of the GSLB vServer.
• B. Configure CS policies that designate a load-balancing vServer as the target vServer.
• C. Configure a CS vServer of target type GSLB.
• D. Bind the GSLB domain to the GSLB vServer.

Answer: (B)

Content switching for GSLB service selection hinges on directing traffic to a specific local vServer through policies. To designate which vServer acts as the target, you configure content-switching policies that explicitly designate a load-balancing vServer as that target. The policy logic evaluates incoming requests and, based on factors like domain or URL, forwards them to the chosen LB vServer so the GSLB service uses the correct destination for servicing the request. This is the precise step that ties the GSLB service to the actual server pool you want to handle it.

Binding the domain to the CS vServer merely makes the policy apply to that domain, not which vServer is the recipient. Creating a CS vServer of a target type GSLB isn’t how you set the destination; the target is a load-balancing vServer defined by the policy. Binding the GSLB domain to the GSLB vServer is about domain association with the GSLB server, not selecting the specific target vServer for content switching.
