The default External Network is defined as all addresses that defined by
any other ISA firewall Network. So, there is still an external network,
you just don't have any access to it, since you've created ISA firewall
Networks for both the NIC (one for the default Internal Network and one
for the ISA firewall Network representing the perimeter network NIC).

You can use this in a number of scenarios, like turning the DMZ between
the BE and FE ISA firewall into an ISA firewall Network and creating a
route Network Rule between that and the default Internal Network, but
still NAT'ing to the Internet. Pretty slick, eh?
