There can be a special case where some IP on one nessusd is not the
same as the same IP on another nessusd, if the client talks to a
nessusd through a VPN or SSH tunnel.

On the other hand, if I tell my nessus client to not scan FOO, I
really don't want to scan FOO, not even if I mistype a host name in
another scope.

A solution for this might be if preferences are inherited from
global to task to scope. But the we get the problem of conflict
resolution if a global rule is added, but there already is a scope
rule.

Hi,

Just for the archive:
The new implementation of the rules allows to have rules defined in
the global settings.
Those are used as defaults when creating a new scope.
However, the rules in the scope can individually be modified.
IMHO thats the most flexible and helpful solution.

Best
