"Honeynets" vs. "Honeypots"

I have kind of a silly terminology question that I'd like to clear up. What differentiates a honeynet vs. a honeypot? 
I'm building a high-interaction GenI setup with only two machines, a firewall and a honeypot. Is this a honeynet or 
not? In the whitepaper I'm writing, I refer to the entire setup as a honeynet (since this setup is not part of our 
production network) and reserve the term honeypot for the machine which is intended to be compromised. I want to make 
sure I'm being accurate.

Thanks,

Scott
