I am building a distributed scanner infrastructure for anyone who would like to 
collaborate.

There is no automatic load-balancing in place. The usual way to
distribute load is to distribute your scanners in the different
networks (geographically, if needed to be), and have each one of them
care for the network they are the nearest to.

Due to some issues with the scanner protocol, it is best to distribute
a manager together with each of your scanners, and configure the
managers to talk with each others, and each one of them to talk with
their own scanner (locally).

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Ben.

[Openvas-discuss] Distribute Scans among multi scanners

[TN TN]

Hi,

I accidentally wrote "scammers" in my previous post last month, apologies
for the mistake.

If we setup more than one OpenVAS scanner how can we load-balance the
different scans to use 2 or more scanners? Is it an automatic process (when
the one scanner fills up with requests, the other will take over)? Not sure
how to distribute the load between 2+ scanners. Can someone please help.
Thanks -T
