I'm not opposed to the idea of a honeypot as an additional layer of security,
but it's not what I would suggest as the first line of defense to someone
looking for a consultant to secure their Asterisk deployment.  Locking it down
properly would require the same knowledge as securing the production setup and
the risk is high if they make a mistake.
