RE: Multiple daemons possible

What about listening on specific address, such as localhost _and_ a single local address?  I have 2 NICs on my server, and each NIC has multiple addresses.  I tried different variations with the variable (commas, spaces, etc.) and it only seems to accept the first address I specify (using listen_address = 127.0.0.1 {other IP})

This is the only format Nessus didn't complain about (much) when restarting it.

Thanks,
Kevin

As Doug suggests, you should be fine with just one instance -- by  
default, the Nessus server listens on all available interfaces.
