named based virtual hosts.  Many virtual hosts with a common ip.  The 
name is what separates one from another.

    One issue that I've run into with something like this, is that I can't
    find a way escape hyphens in host names in the target list to nesses.
    So the names with hyphens are interpreted as ranges.

    I see I can build a .nessus file that'll handle the issue.  But its a
    lot more work to build the .nessus file from my host list.  One could
    just use IPs, except I'm scanning some named virtual hosts, which
    require using the name.


Pardon my ignorance, but why does a name virtual host require you to 
scan by hostname?
