Yes, although it is a "softfail":

nabs.net.               86400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:71.246.216.106/31 mx 
a:static-71-246-216-107.washdc.fios.verizon.net a:saber.nabs.net ~all"

Since you're trying to stop bots, that would work.  For more 
"reputable" spam, though, you can't do anything more than adjust the 
score for valid SPF...automatically passing it through would result in 
a lot of extra spam.
