This is rather ambiguous.  I'm going to guess that you mean they
have public IANA issued IPs that you are trying to use for nut.

That would be a sensible default for public IPs.

That is also a sensible default for private IPs.

If these two machines are both on the same LAN, they should talk
using a private IP.  If not, you will need a VPN of some sort,
or else configure the SSL features of nut.  I personally use
cjdns (available in epel for centos) for the vpn.
