And on top of that, you said you are scanning with Nessus, how does the
nessus box get it's updates?  Just curious.


In my setup I have a system that is allowed to access the Nessus update
site.  I have a fairly simple script that downloads the updates for several
licensed feeds to that server and drops them in a web server directory.

The nessus servers then requests the correct update file for it's license
via a cron job.

The setup just requires me to drop a file in the correct directory on the
web server machine to make it request a new scanner's feed file.
