Now, I know for a fact that the host is not dead, which in my mind

There are bugs with the bpf sharing program which is there to
compensate for the lack of bpf's on an OpenBSD system. When it does
not work, it may report some hosts are dead as it can't receive the
replies to 'pings' sent to them. The workaround is to create at least
42 bpfs (100 recommended) and recompile Nessus.
