But assuming that they insist that the Nessus scan must be run from

Is there configuration setting/requirement that must exist on the the

from a box outside the firewall won't be block or the resultant scan
results wont't be distorted?
If you're running scans from outside the network to see what the
*external* threats are, you shouldn't be making any changes to the
firewall for Nessus. You will, though, need to take care when
configuring the scans themselves, especially in the area of the port
scanners.
