"Easy to admin, monitor, alert..." I apologize, but I would first question what 
your intended purpose for the honeypot would be. I get the feeling you want 
something more like a network tripwire that you don't have to look at. I would 
steer you towards an IDS solution like Snort or some other sort of deep 
inspection firewall or even just your firewall logs.

A honeypot, while fun and interesting, is still largely a measure for 
malware/hacker research as opposed to any real security measure. I know you 
didn't call it a security measure, but it sounds like you want a security 
measure...? A honeypot has very little value to most shops that are not 
providing actual research.


<- snip ->
Can you advise what is the best honeypot server available
Open-source or commercial - it doesn't matter as long as it will be easy to
administrate and easy to monitor and alerted ...
