Delagation and using Who Is server?

[Commerco WebMaster]

Dear Mr. Almand,

I am a bit confused by your question in that I don't understand whois as 
being used for delegation, but rather identification.  This would not be 
the first time I have been confused and I suspect not the last.

Nevertheless, you might start the education process here:
