Many mobile agent applications require the agents being constantly present on the network. We address the problem of fair agent distribution as a multi-agent game where agents gain the most revenue from hosts that were long not visited. We show that in the perfect information case there exist a Nash equilibrium. We also consider several local strategies where gaining information is associated with additional cost. At the end of the paper we provide simulation results and a comparison of several global and local strategies.
