maybe have a look at the "use_mac_addr" setting explained here:

http://docs.greenbone.net/GSM-Manual/gos-3.1/en/scan_configuration.html#general-preferences

which describes:

address. This could be beneficial in a DHCP environment.

The new asset management in the upcoming OpenVAS 9 might also help as it
is also keeping various host identifiers beside the IP.
