Bridge Head Server not set correctly

Hi I have got 4 DCS

DC-A (Site-1)
DC-B (Site-1)
DC-C (Site-2)
DC-D (Site-2)

When I run repadmin /bridgeheads I am informed that DC-A is my Bridge Head Server. However when I look at Sites and Services, DC-A only replicates "to" and "From" DC-B!
However DC-B replicates to DC-C, and DC-A.

I would have assumed that surely there should be a link from DC-A to DC-C as both are my bridgehead servers. All of these connections are automatically generated, and none have been created manually.

    Yes, I knew this. Is replication working at all?

    Glad to hear things are working. Bridgehead servers by default are automatically assigned. You can read on here about this.
