CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 649

An organization plans to take online orders via a new website. Three web servers are available for this website. However, the organization does not want to reveal the network addresses or quantity of the individual servers to the general public. Which of the following would best fulfill these requirements?

Answer options

• A. IPSec
• B. Explicit proxy
• C. Port security
• D. Virtual IP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Using a Virtual IP allows multiple servers to share a single IP address, thus concealing the individual server addresses from external users. The other options, such as IPSec and explicit proxy, do not specifically address the need to hide server addresses, while port security is related to securing access to the network rather than masking server details.
