Agreed. One of my Apache defenses is to redirect probes/hacks to 127.0.0.1 :-)
I'm redirecting some things to www.fbi.gov as well as 127.0.0.1 here, plus using mod_geoip, ipset, and the mother of all network level blacklists in ipset. One large list that cut the number of attacks was blocking ALL Amazon AWS services. That reduced attacks by at least half.
Clousflare would be another one worth mentioning. They are much nastier, BTW, IMHO:
