I also found "remote host" for nessusd while concurrently
"remote host" often means the target system
(nessus/prefs_dialog/prefs_help.h).

IMHO it makes sense to avoid the too ambigous term "remote
host" and use "Target Host" or "Nessus Server" respectively instead.

Target Network (or just Target) would be even more appropriate.

right. So I will try to avoid the term "remote host" from now on.
