Vhost Patch
Attached is a very simple patch to keep nessus from overriding the
given IP address with the DNS'd IP address of a given domain name, as
when the host list contains something like:

10.0.0.1[www.foo.com]

Can we get this included?


Best regards,
Erik

Sorry for the delay on this.

The correct syntax to do vhost scanning is "hostname[IP]".

ie: www.foo.com[10.0.0.1]

Your patch would actually break this, and as far as I can see, the
current code works as advertised.
