distributed scanning

I am working on a project to look at % coverage and issues around distributed scanning.  I would love if people could 
chime in with answers to a few questions.  For those of you using distributed scanning, how many scanners are you 
using?  Are you placing scanners on each subnet, or are you opening routes to subnets to be scanned.  What difficulties 
are people running into when trying to distribute scanners.  What help could you use in managing this data or the 
scanners themselves.

If you want to reply to me offline, I would be happy to hide the names of the innocent and the guilty J, and resend any 
of my findings to this list.

Cheers,
Brian
