exactly

I also prefer to break the A up, it was just a question.   It was
however important for us
to see if they had ever been in a large environment and needless to
say I was shocked by the guy's response.   I am personally not a big
fan of distributed vm systems anyhow even though everyone is trying to
put one out.   I prefer to scan at a max of a class B at a time with
multiple tools for accuracy and effectiveness of the data.

supported clients with 60 thousand hosts!' (which isn't even a class b
btw), and the technical ignorance of their technical person is what
closed the door for ncircle. Or at least that is what I get out of his
email, not 'please tell me how i should deploy a vulnerability scanner
in my network' but rather a dialogue on the technical competence of
the employee's.
