connectionstring & web farm

Hey

ASP.NET 2.0

I'm preparing for a www.123assess.com test and in that intention I yesterday
took a skill assessment test at microsoft.com. Today I'm reviewing some of
the questions I had problems with:

One of the questions was about where the connections string should be placed
in a web farm configuration. In this scenario there were several web
applications which all are using the same connection string. The connection
string should in this scenario be placed in the most central location
possible. Below are the 4 alternative answers to the question:

These were the alternative answers:
#1: In each application's Global.asax
#2: In the Machine.config on one of the web servers
#3: In each application's Web.config file
#4: In the Machine.config file on each web server

I think alternative #4 is correct, but I'm not 100% sure about it.

any suggestions?

Jeff
