Scenario: A Citrix Administrator configured the rewrite policies below: In which order should the policies be evaluated?

The correct answer is D. POL_2, POL_3, POL_4. Option D is correct because in Citrix ADC, rewrite policies are evaluated in ascending priority order, and the Goto Expression on each policy controls whether evaluation continues.

Explanation

Option D is correct because in Citrix ADC, rewrite policies are evaluated in ascending priority order, and the Goto Expression on each policy controls whether evaluation continues. In this scenario, POL_2, POL_3, and POL_4 are chained with a NEXT goto expression, so all three are evaluated in sequence - but POL_4's goto is set to END, terminating the evaluation chain before POL_1 is ever reached.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (POL_2, POL_3, POL_4, POL_1) is wrong because evaluation ends at POL_4 (END goto), so POL_1 is never reached.
B (POL_1 only) is wrong because POL_1 has a lower-priority number placing it last, and the chain terminates before it.
C (POL_2, POL_3) is wrong because it stops too early - POL_4 is still within the active evaluation chain before the END is hit.

Memory tip: Think of Citrix rewrite policies like a traffic light sequence - NEXT is a green light (keep going), END is a red light (stop here). Whichever policy holds the red light determines the last policy evaluated, and anything after it is simply skipped.

D is correct. Rewrite policies bound to a virtual server are evaluated before globally bound policies, so POL_2, POL_3, and POL_4 get processed in priority order at the vserver level, and POL_1 never enters the evaluation chain because one of the earlier policies already terminates the flow before global bindings are reached.

Tricky one, POL_2 hits first then POL_3 and POL_4 because POL_1 never gets evaluated after the chain terminates - saw almost this exact setup on my exam last spring and almost picked A until I remembered how policy priority binding works on the virtual server, glad I caught it!
