If I'm not mistaken (disclaimer: I'm sitting in a train and can't
validate that) EIGRP doesn't transport next-hop information.  Being a 
distance-vector protocol (on steroids) it only tells you which neighbors
have the prefix available, at what relative cost, but not the ultimate
destination.

On the other hand, it might be able to trick EIGRP into carrying "other"
information, like tags, that could be used for filtering.

For a straightforward way to advertise arbitrary next-hop information,
go for (i)BGP.
