No, don't use the IP on your server. Why you should do such a thing?

You just have to make sure that packets ($old_server <-> $world)
are routed through your $pf box. I guess that's the case for you.
pf will just translate the destination address from $old_server
to $new_server.

BUT, which is this service you are talking about? Cause that's not
feasible with everything.
