Advice on use of Nessus

FYI: Don't run Nessus against a machine hosted at Godaddy. They drop traffic for a few mins for any IP that appears to be portscanning. Aside from slowing down Nessus, any requests for anything from the originating IP address (are you running it from behind your corporate firewall?) will be dropped. May be able to mitigate by changing scan settings, however...
