RST send from Fortigate causing false positives in nexpose

Due to the Fortigates Anti-Replay features; it will send RST for non-existent IPs as Nexpose tries to discover (Nexpose is a vulnerability scanner). 

 

Example - note, there is nothing on 192.168.230.190 in my network:

From what I understand setting Anti-replay to loose or disabled will resolve this. 

 

Is there any way to achieve this on a per policy, per interface, per vdom etc rather then a global setting? Some way of achieving this result that isn't a global parameter opening up the box to syn attacks?
