* An ongoing debate between Tom De Puysseleyr and Ben Ritchey rages on ...

Should not matter, as long as the defined nodelist in Rex is a valid one :)  
When I setup new nodes my Rex uses the nodelist to pre-fill certain entries for 

me, otherwise I don't know what it does otherwise {chuckle} as I don't use 
anything else that requires it. {shrug}

If you are writing a Netmail to a FIDO address NOT in the Rex config, it may 
try to validate this before sending, or not ... but should not need it. If you 
want the INA: setting address for that node I would expect Rex to look for a 
Rex defined node with that Node addy and grab the IP from there (i.e. BinkP 
node).

Rex is not a full-featured, bells & whistles type IP mailer like Mystic is, BUT 

what it does do I've found it does do it well!
