Real IP means you have to connect it to the wan port of your router, using static ip, gateway, dns aso.
When you want to use existing local network, you should use a switch or an bridged router in front of your wan port. Your private network should be connected behind your router on a different subnet eg. 192.168.150.x or similar. Any service (intranet-server) for the existing local network must connected in front of your wan port.
Anyhow, I don't see a real advantage to use such kind of configuration. It would make sense only (for me) for closed communities or larger family network.
Hence, I would suggest to use just the "real IP".
