Stateful firewalls are not good as they used to be. There are various
mechanisms that allow to bypass them these days and it's not getting
better. I would not be surprised to see an IE plugin to circumvent
firewalls soon. The best way to secure a host is to use a link-local or
site-local only address and go to a proxy (yuck).
