Dean;
You say "names". But, is it "whois names" or "domain names"?
I mean "people useful" names. Whois is a protocol for accessing the
registration of names. DNS is a a protocol for distributing Records
Wrong.
Whois protocol is a protocol for accessing the registration of
names, not specifically domain names.
DNS, domain name system, is not a protocol but the system to manage
domain names.
I've never heard of such a system.
DNS is an acronym of Domain Name System.
Uhh, no. You don't seem to understand that names are abstract concepts,
And the names are called domain names.
PERIOD.
