Greetings, Has anybody ever setup a central nessus server to be used with multiple, simultaneous clients? Any idea what the safe max per server is in terms of # clients and # scanning threads (ie: target IPs/hosts)? I'm interested in setting up a central server with the ability to scan 50-100 confirmed hosts simultaneous from 5-10 unique clients and am wondering if 1 server can handle this, or if I'll need to setup multiple servers. Thanks much! -ben --------------------------------------- Benjamin Tomhave falcon () cybersecret com http://falcon.cybersecret.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
