Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 113

Which of the following types of resource record is generally used with virtual servers that point to several servers offering network load balancing to distribute work?

Answer options

• A. MX
• B. SRV
• C. SOA
• D. CNAME

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, CNAME, as it allows for aliasing of one domain name to another, which is essential for directing traffic to multiple servers. The other options, such as MX (for mail exchange), SRV (for service location), and SOA (for start of authority), serve different purposes and are not designed for load balancing in the same way.
