I've had no issues with that syntax. Note that the safest approach is to only disallow those bots known to understand the wildcard, which I believe is googlebot, msnbot and slurp of the majors.

Unfortunately, the robots standard has developed into not much of a standard at all. I believe the below should work:

User-agent: googlebot User-agent: slurp User-agent: msnbot Disallow: /*?
