It's one way to do it. Another way would be having a private network (f.e. 10.x.x.x)
on both servers, and set an public address as alias to the network card of the web-server.
To do this, add a line similar to
ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # sample alias entry
to you /etc/rc.conf

Put 'em into the same network as described above. It's IMHO not possible to attack
private addresses over the internet.
