isPrivateIncludingPublicIp(hostname: {String}, f: (err : {Error,Null}, isPrivateIncludingPublicIp: {Boolean}))
var isPrivateIncludingPublicIp = require('hostname-is-private').isPrivateIncludingPublicIp;
isPrivateIncludingPublicIp('YOUR-PUBLIC-IP.xip.io', function(err, isPrivate){
console.log(err === null, isPrivate == true);
});
isPrivate('localhost', function(err, isPrivate){
console.log(err === null, isPrivate === true);
});
isPrivate('google.com', function(err, isPrivate){
console.log(err === null, isPrivate === false);

How it works
It uses dns.lookup underneath and ip.isPrivate to check if the resolved IP is private (or not).
