How to change distance of ext. EIGRP

Hello,

I am trying to change the distance of some external EIGRP routes in my routing
table.
The default is 170 but I would like one route (a default for example) with a
better distance.

The command

router eigrp 1
  distance 50 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

only changes the distance of internal EIGRP routes:

Gateway of last resort is 192.168.2.149 to network 0.0.0.0

         192.168.1.0/28 is subnetted, 2 subnets
    C 192.168.1.192 is directly connected, Ethernet0
--> D 192.168.1.176 [50/1817600] via 192.168.2.149, 00:00:29, Serial1
         192.168.2.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
    C 192.168.2.148/30 is directly connected, Serial1
    C 192.168.2.149/32 is directly connected, Serial1
--> D*EX 0.0.0.0/0 [170/2048000] via 192.168.2.149, 00:00:29, Serial1

I know the command 'distance eigrp X Y' can change the external distance, but
only on a global basis, I can't apply an access list that changes the distance
of the default route only.

any ideas?

Thanks,

Arne
