ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

An organization runs two identical web servers behind a virtual layer-4 load balancer located in the DMZ. Users report that their shopping-cart contents disappear whenever successive HTTP requests are routed to different back-end nodes. To keep individual clients tied to the same server while still sharing the overall workload, which load-balancing technique should the security administrator configure on the device?

  • Apply weighted round-robin distribution and disable health checks to reduce failovers.

  • Use a random selection algorithm that treats every incoming request independently.

  • Switch to a least-connections algorithm without enabling any persistence options.

  • Configure source-IP hash (source-address affinity) persistence on the load balancer.
