Only one host will be scanned at a time, and as Nessus never runs several portscanners simultaneously against a given host, this will work. It will do more than what you want, if I interpreted your question correctly. If you need to limit the global network load, global limits might be a solution. Try to edit global.max_simult_tcp_sessions in nessusd.conf PS: the mailing list will be shut down soon, you'd rather go to http://discussions.nessus.org _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
