When I launch a scan, I can't include DNS names, as it will fail. If list the targets by IP, it works perfectly. (and DNS resolves within the first few seconds of the scan.) I understand that the plug-ins are doing the DNS at this point, but why can't I use DNS during the scan setup?
The DNS resolving is done on the nessusd side. Are you sure that the
operating system hosting it has a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf ?
