Maybe I am missing something, but we use an inbound access list on all
external links that eliminates IP address spoofing, as well as some basic
security issues (blocking NFS, r* commands, etc just in case some machine
inside is misconfigured).  If you have an inbound access list that filters
based on the source address already, why would you not add the private 
addresses to that?
