Most home networks aren't part of a domain. (unless they're using versions  
beyond "home", they can't)

All they have to do is get a single computer inside your network to run  
their little program. Drive-by download, any number of browser exploits,  
one idiot user...  Go talk to the security crowd about UPnP if you really  
want one computer to be able to ask another computer to alter it's  
firewall rules.

(domain policies do actually address this.)
