Feature Request - Use db_hosts to auxiliary

Hi (again again again),

One suggestion to development. It is possible the auxiliaries (e.g. smb_login, ftp_anonymous) use the hosts who are 
stored in db_hosts instead of variable RHOSTS?

Application: Nmaped or Nessus-ed searching from responsible hosts with open 445 port. For example, from 254 hosts, the 
scan returns only 20, not-consecutives. To use it in auxiliary, i need to put the hosts one by one in variable RHOSTS 
or set to scan the all 254 hosts again. If could use only the 20 stored in db_hosts, it reduces the job.

In C-small-classes, dont make some diference. But in large networks, it more interesting you select the hosts to test 
based in some criteria and filtered, in most cases grabbed from an external list like a nmap XML or a Nessus NBE 
report. Especialy in the case of responsible-hosts and open ports.

Not sure if this are difficult to dev, but sent the suggestion to discuss, and help with anything I can do.

Thanks, sorry for poor english again, trying to be understood.
