Obfuscation isn't reliable, and botnets have increasingly massive 
computes available to explore IPv4 address space, and there are search 
engines that make finding these obfuscations yet easier for folks not 
actively running botnets.   Once the knowledge becomes available, 
you're headed toward port knocking or that ilk, or implementing and 
running a VPN server upstream of the OpenVMS boxes.
