Ok, I should have clarified my question a little better. Sorry...

When nessus is performing a scan, how do I specify which interface to
perform the scan from. I am not too concerned about which interface
nessus is serving client requests from (although I need to specify this
due to security reasons).

Thanks for your help guys, sorry for the lack of clarity.
