I have an environment where I need to run Nessus as a dual homed

encountered?

I may be missing some specific details of what you are trying to
accomplish... but, from a basic perspective, it would be very simple.
Nessus will just use the local routing rable for determining which
interface to send out packets.

For example, if you have 192.168.0/24 routed to eth0 and 172.16.0/24
routed to eth1, then the server's local routing table would handle
directing packets to either of those subnets. If you scan, for example,
172.16.0.55, the local routing table would ensure the packets get directed
to eth1. No special configurations in Nessus required at all.
