You're not devious enough.  Remember that the *best* place to put a
honeypot is right out there in plain sight where it's likely to attract
attention.   So now they've grepped their Apache logs, and they've
added several dozen people to their "suspected script kiddie" list.

(Remember - the NSA probably knows more about proper airgapping than anybody.
All *those* webservers have on them is non-sensitive content, so you can't
actually *get* anything really interesting to happen - in the NSA view of the
world, "public website gets defaced" isn't particularly interesting or
noteworthy).
