Internal firewall anti-spoofing

I have 2 networks separated by a firewall and then a internet facing firewall. I am getting anti-spoofing alerts on traffic passing through my internal firewall from the internet.

Topology looks something like this

Network-A >>> InternalFW >>>> Network-B >>>>> internetFW >>>>>> Internet

On the Network-B facing interfaces on both firewalls I have only my Network-B networks defined in the topology. I assume on the InternalFW I need to add the internet to the topology on the interface connected to Network-B? 

To not mess up anti-spoofing on the internetFW I assume I would create separate network groups for my topology on the internal and internet firewalls?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

"Internet" means "anything not defined on the other interfaces" so you do not need to include Network-B nets there.

You are correct, topology for InternalFW's interface on Network-B should be Internet.
For InternetFW, the topology for the interface on Network-B should also include Network-A.

So before I make any changes the topology would look like ...

InternalFW Network-B side, (Network-B nets, Internet)

InternetFW Network-B side, (Network-A nets, Network-B nets)

 

Thank you,

So does that mean the interface on the internal FW going to network B is essentially an internal and external interface? In this circumstance, is there even a need for a dedicated external interface?

Even if not directly connected to the Internet, if the Internet can potentially be reached through an interface, it should be marked as external.
