You can enable "fair-queue" on the interface, either directly or via an
existing policy map. This treats each flow in a "fair" equal way, but
doesn't treat each host equally.

Otherwise I think you can use "traffic-shape group" w/ per host
access-lists, though it would look a little funny in your interface
configuration.

There's probably some nice 2-line configuration you can use, but only
that really smart people know it. :-)
