No I don't consider your suggestion offensive as I am not a network engineer! 
I am just a student running my website on my home PC with apache, php, mysql.
I didn't configure my box for public address. The router has a public static 
ip address. Internally my box's address is 10.0.0.2 and that of router is 
10.0.0.1
