Hi Tim,
As far as I know, irrespective of the routing protocol (DV-types at least), the distance command only acts on the local router. I have used it in production with both EIGRP and BGP.
Besides (and I stand to be corrected), the AD is not inserted in routing updates. It is inherently programmed in the IOS so each router makes its decision based on what it has locally configured or the default settings.
