Yeah, there's some advantage to that.  Have a "corp.foo.com" domain that is the 
native domain for the internal machines while the foo.com domain that is 
visible to the outside world has outside accessible addressing.

Not sure how that assists security unless you simply want to limit site-site 
communications to your ULA ranges only, then sure.  In practice, sites often 
back each other up and you can have external traffic for site A using site B 
for its internet access, but that's not a big deal, just need to keep your 
internal and external traffic separated which any good admin will do as a 
matter of course, anyway.
