Honeypots in general always seem to create 2 lines of thought. Are they a good thing or a bad thing? Your intention of using it to see what potential threats are nearby whilst not a bad idea has a flip side. Crackers etc are getting good at spotting them and once discovered would then raise the question " if this organisation has a honeypot what are they worried about us finding otherwise?" It may just attract the attention of the unwanted to your secured networks so personally I wouldn't bother unless you are aware of a specific threat you need to manage.
