On the _paper_, Nessus should work very well on such a system.

However, we've had reports of a bug (that Sun is aware of)  in the  
network driver of the box. Basically, under certain circumstances, a  
scan will crash the system.
Unfortunately, I do not have more details on this but will post when/ 
if I do.
