From what I see, unless your directory is *very* much targetted towards one type of content, those type of harvesters are more likely to harvest dmoz & yahoo. In addition to that, search engines would be still gettnig higher pref for being harvested then general directories. So if I were you I would not worry about it, howeve if you are wanting to show static url for the purpose of PR and link exchange, then you might want to make sure that noone besides you knows the actualy reason, as search engines don't like the link exchange directories.

Hope this helps.
