Why does security demand an external border?  Is that based on the
assumption that the host is too stupid to protect itself? If it is based
on having an app listening on a port with the intent of local use, but
expecting a border device to protect that app from remote use (or
abuse), is that the right deployment model? Is the lack of a clear IPv4
way to identify locality at the root of your claim?
