We have a server running a bunch of vhosts, and people have various
php/pearl/etc. scripts on their websites. We know there are voulnable
scripts on some of the websites, but Nessus doesn't find those,
because it's just scanning the web server itself.

I was hoping that the use of ip[domain] would make Nessus able to scan
the vhosts directly, but as said it didn't quite do that. Am I
misunderstanding the mail below, or something?

If you know all the (virtual) domain names, provide that list of names
(just names) to Nessus to scan and it _should_ use that information when
testing (so when testing the web server it will send the "Host:" header
with that domain in it)--it always works for me.
