I suppose that it is a remain from an old piece of code. I could find
the string in nessus-core/doc/ntp/ntp_white_paper_11.txt only, not the
software.

Where is the firewall? If it is between the client and the
server, you just have to allow the Nessus port (1241). 
If it is between the server and the targets, you must open all IP
traffic between those machines (not great for a firewall) and disable
any kind of anti-flood, anti-spoof counter-measures (e.g. FW-1 smart
defenses). Otherwise, your scan will be slow and unaccurate. 
Honestly, in the later case, you'd better move the server or the
firewall.
