I think you're covered with the robots.txt, as I think both Yahoo and MSN (Live) search are respectable crawlers and follow the robot.txt rules. Where you may run in to problems are some of the lesser known crawlers, and even malicious crawlers that deliberately ignore robots. If there is a link to this page from some other page, there's a good chance some crawlers will index it.
