You send redirect not for address (or tos or to something another).
You send redirect for particular flow, after it is clear
that this flow needs redirection.
Unsolicited redirects are full non-sense. Use gated or some another
routing daemon to distribute routes actively.

Certainly. When I traceroute you, packets go through satellite link,
when I telnet to the same address, they go through ground link. Alas. 8)
