Dummy vhost for intruders - comments please

I don't think this is quite off-topic, just a bit left of centre. :-\
I run a small site with two subdomains of no-ip.org (like dyndns) using NameVirtualHost. Looking at the access log, a few percent of my traffic was from bots like Morfeus F***ing Scanner [my censorship], intrusion attempts (e.g. GET /login_page.php) and just plain old "wrong numbers". Nothing from what I'd think of as "good" bots (Google, etc.) Initially, I added a first (i.e. default) vhost to serve a page saying "If you don't know the URL, I'm not telling you." Then I refined this with the obvious "Deny from all". While this is definitely effective, do you consider it honourable/ethical/sneaky/clever/dumb/whatever? Are there any likely side-effects?

Season's Greetings to all,

Peter
