In a nutshell ... the IP addresses defined as private will not be

It doesn't really matter what you do behind your firewall. The only
technical problem caused by using a public IP assigned to someone else is
that you won't be able to communicate with the legitimate holder of that
IP. In this case, that is not likely to be a problem.
In this case, the IP addresses are not from the private ones, so there is a chance things can get confused
