ipvar EXTERNAL_NET

Most examples I see on the net define HOME_NET in various ways and then define the EXTERNAL_NET as being anything not 
HOME_NET.

Is it ever appropriate to define both in the opposite way.  For example, specifically define your EXTERNAL_NET as 1 or 
more external interfaces or internet facing CIDR addresses and then define HOME_NET as being anything that's not 
EXTERNAL

EXAMPLE:
ipvar EXTERNAL_NET 205.2xx.xx.X
ipvar HOME_NET !$EXTERNAL_NET

Regards,
