To allow configuration of some items (WEB proxy, DNS server as example)
SNF requires Internet Access. But SNF can be sensibly used in other
environments as well - e.g. we often use firewall to temporarily connect
some group of PCs to Intranet with different access policies (allow
access to selected addresses only or allow only selected protocols etc).

I do not think SNF should restrict users here. In environments where SNF
just (inter-)connects several networks there is no "Internet" at all.
While it is possible to define one of zones as "Internet" it is very
misleading, because it has some implied semantics w.r.t. default access
policy and in such configurations it is usually wrong.
