Refer to the exhibit. An administrator needs to correct the SRV records so that server1.sample.com is always contacted first of the three servers. Which solution should the engineer implement to resolve this issue?

  • A Priority = 5, Weight = 70
  • B Priority = 10, Weight = 5
  • C Priority = 100, Weight = 90
  • D Priority = 10, Weight = 10
Explanation

SRV targets with the lowest numerical priority are considered before targets with higher priorities. For targets sharing a priority, weight supplies relative selection preference; a larger weight is more likely to be selected. Setting server1.sample.com to priority 5 and weight 70 places it at the lowest priority level and gives it greater selection preference than the other priority-5 target, whose weight is 20. Equal-priority weighting is probabilistic, however, so a literal unconditional guarantee would require server1.sample.com to have a priority lower than 5; none of the choices provides that value.
