A standard host Redirect affects only one host.

Sure - the problem is that you have two different TEs running: - the main IP forwarding TE that picks the interface - the intra-interface forwarding that picks the L2 encaps That means the main TE is basically blind to the TE over the subnet. If you do this with separate L2 VIFs, the main TE can pick the VIF itself. Everything you want can be done by the main IP forwarding engine - including ECMP.
