I ended up just setting up bind with a wildcard entry, and setting its log level for queries to debug. It is working now, but I need to build a little web app to generate the unique links. Also only one DNS server is running at the moment.

I can't wait to send some around in facebook messages and IMs.

Here's a maiden honeypot link: http://hn0001.hnypot.info/Welcome-Internets!

...Though posting it publicly nearly guarantees I will see a hit, I can at least see if code running on HN resolves it immediately.

Edit: There is activity coming in on that name, but mostly it is from browsers pre-loading DNS to prepare for the next potential pageview. My browser did this (chrome on Mac). I suppose that is a form of information disclosure we often overlook. On a page you can inject a link into, you can get some very basic analytics.

In the 15 minutes following the posting of that link, there have been zero clicks, 36 IPv4 lookups, 6 IPv6 lookups.
