When I first experimented with that I was not expecting anything to happen. Within a few days one person in Amazon EC2 in Germany started trying to do zone transfers for some of my domains likely to figure out which records to avoid and then they just excluded my domains entirely. All of the scanning stopped shortly thereafter. The scanning noise was literally all coming from one person despite the source IP's being all over the internet.

Oof, Germany. That's a tough place to be doing cybercrime from. If you told the police, I guarantee they can get that guy's home address. Whether they'd bother is a different story
