CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 69

A server administrator wants to increase the availability of a web server without implementing a cluster. Which of the following would accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Configure round robin DNS entries
• B. Configure an active/active service
• C. Configure an active/passive service
• D. Configure two servers with the same IP address

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Setting up two servers with the same IP address (option D) allows for failover capabilities, thus increasing availability without clustering. The other options either do not provide the same level of redundancy or require more complex configurations that do not directly enhance availability.
