Are you looking to test the integrity of the firewall itself or how the firewall is blocking traffic? Previously, we've blogged about scanning hosts behind a firewall: http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2006/08/using_nessus_to.html If you actually want to scan the firewall itself, you need to keep in mind the firewall rule set and make sure you are not being blocked. Nessus does check for many different known firewall vulnerabilities.
