When I start the daemon with "nessusd -D -q -a x.y.z.218,x.y.z.219", it

Does that mean that -a only accepts one single IP, or am I doing something
wrong ?????

You are doing something wrong. ;-)

I'm not sure how to do it, but I do know that the -a option is ment for specifying which address nessusd should listen on. That is, if you have serval interfaces on your box, and you only want it to listen on a specific address on one of the interfaces then you can use this option.

I suppose you could tcpwrap nessusd or something, and that way limit the access to it.
