Replace ConfigurationBasedServerList for all services

Question

With Ribbon, if you want to use a custom ServerList implementation instead of the default ConfigurationBasedServerList for a specific service, you can do it like this in the application configuration file:

my-service:
  ribbon:
    NIWSServerListClassName: com.myapp.MyCustomServerList

My issue is that I want to replace the default ConfigurationBasedServerList for all services I declare to use the MyCustomServerList.

I could just add the previous properties block for each service, but that could grow endlessly.

Is there a way to declare MyCustomServerList as default?

I've also tried adding this bean to my @Configuration class, but it only seems to work the first time I do a request:

@Bean
public ServerList<Server> ribbonServerList() {
    return new MyCustomServerList();
}

See http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/Dalston.SR1/#_customizing_the_ribbon_client

@RibbonClients(defaultConfiguration=MyConfig.class)

//...

class MyConfig {
    @Bean
    public ServerList<Server> ribbonServerList() {
        return new MyCustomServerList();
    }
}
