sorry for not explaning it in more detail...
what i mean is in a Site Link, i have configured multiple sites (more than
10 sites) to be included inside the Site Link...can this work correctly?

i've search on the Internet, seems like the best practice is to keep a
Site
Link to contain only 2 sites

appreciate your advice on this..

jorge,
another question to check with you, is there any performance
degradation
if
i have multiple BO link to the nearest HUB in a single Site Link?

the info you gave me should be OK....

the only thing I can think of is DNS SRV records

check in DNS what records have been registered for the CLIENT site

based on the info you gave it should be the DC in APAC that has
registered
this
