Re: Report NG: Separate Subnet/host?

Absolutely. However, we had problems in the past of users scanning a
moderately large subnet with the GUI and having the GUI only display
the N (with N =~ several hundreds) first hosts due to limitations in
GTK. So the subnet part was here to make that no list is longer than
255 hosts.

Since in Nessus 2.4 we'll be GTK2 based, it might be interesting to see
if improvements have been made on the GTK side to handle huge lists. If
it handles them well, then we can get rid of the subnet view or use it
to do something else (like categorizing the hosts, as you suggested).
