> How does nessus access machines behind load balancers? The same way a client does :-)
Neither nessus, nor the clients knows about the structure behind th eload balancing systems. HTTP_KEEPALIVES will be enforced usually, but if the load balancing system does round_robin, then nessus will access each/other system. Maybe portscan one, pen test the other. Maybe first port on one, next port on the other. If you wish to individually test the computers behind the load balancing system then you need to place the nessus scanner behind as well. -- Michael Scheidell SECNAP Network Security Corporation Main: 561-368-9561 / www.secnap.net We are expanding and nees security professionals http://www.secnap.net/careers/ _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
