To enable or disable bridge all links

[charliey_2000]

I need some clerification on whether I should disable the
bridge all links option for site links. I have a hub and
spoke topology. The service center being the central
site. So say I have A-b-c with a,b,and c representing
sites(physically connected through b). Of course in the
real environment I have more then two spoke sites. In
this example b is the central site(hub). I configure two
site links. Atob and btoC. That I would do for each
spoke back to the central site. So now if I disable
bridge all site links and there are no domain controllers
are availble at the b site I think I have broken any AD
replciation from site A to C. Site A and C has no direct
physical link to each other and must go through b. So do
I create a site link from A to C(although they have no
direct physical connection and must be routed through b)
or do I create a site link bridge for the site links atob
and btoc. I was told that leaving the default bridge all
links was not favorable but in a hub and spoke
environment is this still true. I understand that it
would also depend on if there were more then one domain.
In this case I am asking about only a single domain
model. Although Im not quite clear on how a multiple
domain model might change the site link configuration.
Thanks.
