This came up on the list a few weeks ago. To quote Ronnie:
"You can't use the distance command to change the admin distance of
external EIGRP routes. Use the distance eigrp command to change the
distance for external routes or change the admin distance of your OSPF
routes to 171.
As far as I know it's just one of those things that
we accept as "that's the way that it's coded." They want you to use
distance eigrp for changing the distance of EIGRP routes, but I guess
it never crossed their minds that we'd like to change it for specific
external EIGRP routes."
If you come to a different conclusion, please let us all know.
cheers,
Dale
