Nmap Hackers: Re: distributed nmap?

Personally, I would prefer a simple client/daemon wrapper for nmap.  That
would provide an easy to maintain layer of abstraction between nmap and
the means of communication.  One could write such an animal in a few hours
with Perl which would be almost as portable as a C app.
