Is it possible for run NUnit against a specific (long) list of tests

This is not currently possible - I converted the question to a feature request.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

One thought was a dynamic excludes list. So you could check that any
failures are your fault rather than pre-existing.
1) CI Server run Nunit and xml gets parsed to failures file
2) Developer runs unit tests /except fileset('knownfailures.txt')

(If only knowfailures.txt always was empty)

Cheers,
Andy

We could consider that for 3.0. Can you please file a feature request?
