My guess based on your comments is you probably want an equal sign in the var External_Net definition. Something like: var EXTERNAL_NET = $HOME_NET, or, var EXTERNAL_NET != $HOME_NET If I've understood what you're trying to accomplish, the Home_Net should describe the IP addresses that you are trying to protect (or observe), and the External_Net is everything else (eg, !=).
First off, to answer Sander's earlier question: When -S is used, it does "overrride" or replace the variable before the interpretation of the file. So using -S on the command line would simply set HOME_NET to whatever and then EXTERNAL_NET to the same. Next: The two most common settings for EXTERNAL_NET are: var EXTERNAL_NET any var EXTERNAL_NET !$HOME_NET I use the second due to sensor placement. If you're building packages, then I would suggest to use that. That implies "The internet minus $HOME_NET" which is what I think you want.
