What does this mean?

Others can use the public IP on your router and hit 
the apache server?  But you can only hit the apache server from the 
private IP?

If the answers to the above are yes, this is the way your router keeps the 
public IP separate from the private LAN ip's.  It is not routing between 
the two networks.  Most routers are configured in this way.  Some more 
full featured routers can be configured to route between the subnets, but 
it is generally not a good idea to route between the public subnet and the 
private subnet for securuty reasons.
