No. Scanner will use myhostname.com. > I can see the task by going on the scanner and doing a > ps -ef | grep openvas and it shows me it's scanning the IP address. I agree that this is a bit confusing, but this does not mean that the scanner is not using the hostname. In openvassd.messages look for "Starts a new scan. Target(s) : myhostname.com, with max_hosts = 30 and max_checks = 10" This name will then be used in the http host header.
