I can state that we have the same problem here. Legacy systems,
along with a surprising number of current systems, like Solaris 6 +,
all have problems. Slowaris NFS loses it's mind under a normal scan.
When the NFS server dies, the 500+ clients here all hang, and then
the community is looking to hang ME!

You schedule the scans, so people know when they will have problems.
