I wouldn't use the words "internal" and "external" because GUPIs would surely be used for private connectivity between sites. I'd use "private" and "public" instead. So GUPIs would be used within "private" sites that (for the most part) didn't have connectivity to the public Internet, and for connectivity between "private" sites and other sites; globals would be used by sites with connecitons to the public Internet.
