Honey VS Vinegar

["Polazzo Justin" <Justin.Polazzo () facilities gatech edu>]

I was wondering about the complications inherent in "advertising" a
honeypot. 


If you give the IP a DNS entry, the (google/altavista/lycos)bots try and
index your IIS/Apache honeypot and you get a false alarm, even though
the nicer ones may turn around after a robots.txt is found the traffic
is recorded. 

Does this compromise the integrity of your honeypot?

Then again, what about teaming up with fellow honeynets and
googlebombing a misconfigured IIS 6.0/Apache banner to the previously
mentioned DNS entry.
(http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/index.php?module=prodreviews shows a few
examples of what people are searching for) 

Is this entrapment? Will you only observe known exploits through this
type of lure?

I know how I feel (1: Ignore the searchbots, 2: Entrapment? they
shouldn't be trying to compromise servers via Google so go ahead and 3:
Even known exploits can make room for nice code storage), but was
wondering what conclusions others have reached, and more importantly: To
those who automatically publish their logs: How do you automagically
clean all of this up?
