OK, after talking to our SonicWALL guru, this ISN'T a service of all SonicWALLs, it's only a part of SonicWALLS with IPS(Intrusion Prevention Service) installed, which is an add-on service.

[sonicwall.com...]

Firewalls that do not have the service activated(it's a pay-for add-on) are not "blocking" spiders from accessing the robots.txt files. And it can be disabled, as noted above.
